Just another opinion here but for a great every day prop you might try a Bravo I with PVS vent holes in 24 or 26. It will give you great handling, great hole shot, strong mid range and carry the load extremely well. It would be close in performance to the OB but easier to find a used one around to try out.

Quick Update
Finally got thru basic testing looking for good all round prop.
As you suggested I really like the Bravo/Bravo XS Props.
24 Bravo1 no PVS is my best load prop so far 3/4 fuel 3 adults quick to plane 75 easy at limiter
26 Bravo XS 1/2 fuel 2 Adults at Limiter 78 easy.
Gonna finalize the all rounder soon then start chasing you guys

Holla out to Ben
Hows the testing going?

Limitless how do you like the 300xs? Thinking about buying a brand new one

Figured I would post a quick update on here. Ben & I have been a little busy with a few projects this summer so we haven't exactly been diligent on getting his boat all dialed in yet but we will soon. Anyway while on vacation 3 weeks ago in Long Lake with an elevation of approx. 1600 ft. he got 90 out of his boat with a 27" Hydromotive OB4, race faring off, and full interior in. I'm mentioning all these particulars because my boat that has done almost 91 near sea level has only run 83 in Long Lake. I think we will soon be testing some more props but also with full interior for the rest of summer. Probably in the fall we will put the hatch back on and see if he can get close to 100 out of it. Sorry this info has been slow we have had a lot going on so far this year.

Hi Mikey.
So far so good.
Has not missed a beat.
Have about 50 hrs so far.
Mine's a Sportmaster I like the cool/safety factor.
Not sure if was really necessary.
I think the set up is different from torquemaster.
Some of the props that I tried that tm owners seem to have had success with did not feel good to me.
I've also been told that they are not as fast as the tm.
I've a Heavy Duty/Offshore set up so the trim pump mounts in the boat and the propshaft is the larger one.
So far I love it.
Fuel consumption seems really good also ,no #'s but my full tank seemed to last forever!

Jim glad to hear you and Ben are having fun with the 300x. Congrats on the numbers! Keep the updates coming!

Limitless.....Glad to hear you have had happy success with the Bravo I's. You are doing well on the learning curve! More "ear" works well on your rig to carry that boat and weight.

Good luck with you forward progress.

Curious...Anyone try a Mirage Plus?
I'm getting one to try this week.
Just wondering.
Seems like its a 3 blade Bravo ?

Hi Ivan

Hey Roger, how's going Bro? well I haven't gone out on the boat much this summer, I've being cycling a lot, I do road racing and that require a lot of time, I've been out on the boat only like three times, so I haven't being looking for big numbers yet. I havent find the magical prop yet!!!! so far with 4 guys and 1/2 tank I've seen only 74 mph, so I'll look for big numbers later on the season, I have to try a Bravo 1 prop, havent yet.
I see your rig is doing really good!!! Congrats!! you can see almost 80mph any day you go out , that's awesome, that's what I want too, so we'll see!! I may start looking for some weight savings for the boat. I never use the cabin, only to store stuff, so it may go on a strict diet!! LOL!!! we'll see!!
Take care & stay in touch!

Great to hear from you and all's well
What are you running for power currently?
Our #'s don't seem far apart.
The boat's seem very sensitive to weight.
Add or subtract a 1/4 tank and a adult or a couple of kids and the #'s change by 5 mph or so.
in a few weeks I hope to burn off some fuel and have a shot at some top end.
Maybe a 1/4 fuel w one or 2 persons.
Keep you posted.
