    I ran a 32 on my 24 and liked it a lot. Compared to the 32p bravo 4 it had more slip at low speeds and used some more fuel. It also did not plane as well as the Bravo, but up top over 75mph it accelerated and ran better to the 95mph mark. I made it to 101 with that prop and only 96 with the Bravo so far. It got a little too much transom lift and tried to wash the ass end of the boat out if I ran it really high, that was a little sketchy. It ran best on mine only 1.5" above the pad, and took a little more "driving" then the Bravo.

    I had also wondered what the difference was between the Yamaha Drag and the Performance/Hill Drag

    I have a 25 Drag 3 and a 24 Drag 4. The 4 blade carries weight better. Both are easy to drive on my SS2000. Solo I think the 3 is quicker

    My 3 blade has smaller blades then my 4 blade

    I tried a 20 and 22. 20 will act similar to a 22 yamaha from my experience it need a lot of work to get it close to a good yamaha. I messed with it a bunch and it was very close to my best yamaha They have lots of tail lift naturally
    Nitrous is like a slut. u wanna hit it but you know there will be consequences.
