OK for many of us boating season is done for the next six months so we think of things such as new props. The new Bblades 4 speed is very interesting. Has anyone with a Velocity tried one? If so....What Velocity, motor etc. What were the results?

I tried one that was a bone stock 26 and it got on plane the same as a stock Bravo 1 on my boat. I didn't get to test true WOT results because I was running on batteries that were at 11 volts. I didn't know that my alternator had died at HOT BOAT WEEKEND.
With EFI I find it hard to believe that I was getting any where near full HP.
The engine was running like crap. To be honest I shouldn't have even tried to run it. I did hit 105 at 6100 the same as a stock Bravo 28.
My goal was to hit 6400 RPM.
With the BBlades labbed Bravo 28 I hit 112 at 6100 RPM HOT BOAT weekend with 3/4 tanks of fuel. one hour later I blew 1/2 of a blade off of it. ( bad casting )
off topic - with Holley EFI how much higher should my rev limiter be set above the 6400 target RPM?
