Re: which prop?
What are you looking gain?
Topend....Acceleration....Cruise
If you dropped to a 26" Bravo it's worth about 3-400 RPM
and pick some accel.
The 28 is probably pretty sleepy isn't it.

Re: which prop?
The fastest prop on any velocity is a 4 blade hydromotive.
Call Mike at halls prop. He has spent days at lake x. And his hydros out run the bravo any day!

Re: which prop?
I have been running a Labbed 28 Bravo One by Hull, and a Labbed Hydro 26.5 by Throttle Up on my 290 with 496, headers, and reprogram. The Bravo One is running 1-2 mph faster @ 5200, than the Hydro which is running @ 5100. The Hydro is still too thick, and needs more work. Much more bow lift with the Bravo. Have broken 75 on GPS (77+ on spedo) with the Bravo, not yet with the Hydro. I think the Hydro needs some Hull attention.
