Good catch, that is an error.

Just my 2 cents

All the bravos xs fs oc are from the same original casting and fine tune to specific application.
Original bravo 1 was for stern dive with the barrel. Cut the barrel you have less stern lift perfect for outboard. Add vent holes you increase hole shoot. You cut diameter some you increase rpm.
Buy a nice banged up set of stock bravo 1 run them and them a good propeller shop to fine tune for your application. You come out a whole cheaper

Where did you find that info? I know they all can be lab finished if ordered that way. I guess 1 call to merc could clear this up

That is on the full propellers page. Any of the printed material will also say Lab Finish. The Pro Finish was just an error on the site.

Bblades will sell you a new set of bravos and rework them, cut down diameter, remove diffuser, increase vent holes, etc., and basically turn them into a labbed set of OC props for less money. I bought a pair for my 30 spectre and they worked well.

How is that stock bravo is $700 and labbed is $1400 each so I don't see how it will be cheaper. Besides bblades will market one of his own propeller which is the same fine tune your wanting in bravo OC propeller but better

I have heard that BBlades has history with Mercury and the Bravo props

Yes mine will be getting 8 vent holes especially doesnt help that my tuner is cut down.

im thinking out loud here.. could someone have the rear of the barrel trimmed up so the prop dosent go into the lower? has anyone done this before?

Max 5 LT and ST?

if it runs anything like mine you'll need more then 4 holes. i have a labbed 30 bravo with 4 holes (not pvs) and from idle I pin the throttle and the motor revs up to about 2500-2800rpm and it stays there for a good 4-5 seconds before spooling up. after that everything's fine but getting on plane is unpleasant to say the least...im still deciding between adding 4 more holes to it or move to a overhub prop. not that much choice of overhub 15in dia. props

Having the same issue with my xs. We ported the stock holes to flow more air. But needs more. 29 Promax
