I have a set of Bravo 34's that came on my Spectre when I bought it last year. One had a slight ding so I sent them back and had them refinished. They have zero time since being refinished and have the XR hubs. I also have a Bravo 28 that was used once on my HTM. The 28 has a standard hub. I'll take 750 for the 34's and 300 for the 28. Thanks. This is like my third screen name if anyone noticed!:D F**king computers.

Almost. I sent alot of pieces off to get hard anodized and painted. Everything has made it back but we ended up doing a complete new fuel system and ran the water lines a little different along with bigger sea strainers. The big problem we ran into was when my lowers were getting the swept back skeg they found I had water in one of the units and it ended up eating a set of gears.:mad: Number 6 gears are a touch more than Bravo stuff.:D I should get the lowers back soon and we will be in business. The motors made big numbers so I am excited for this next year. I look forward to your 29 project.:)

Right on, you know that is how it goes. When you start you find all the other little over looked stuff, and you get the "well while I am here I may as well change this". Good for you guys, I really look forward to seeing the finished project and going for a ride.
Ya the 29' should be a fun build I have a 588 inch quad rotor sitting at GT for it and 6 plug in gimble. Should be a neat Havasu boat for a little while, unless something changes and I end up in a 32' Skater. I dought it though, I haven't seen any lately that I felt were worth the money.

It's a process that helps you fine tune your prop for your application. Matching the props, thinning the blades, adding more cup, etc. On my HTM that 28 out of the box did 101mph. Had it finished and I gained rpm and did 104 in it. Just that little extra.:D

Thanks Tim. :D My HTM made just a touch over 800 on the dyno and the drive was 1.36. The first time I ran the 28 straight from the box it did 101. After the blades were thinned and matched I ran it one more time and boat did 104 at 6200rpm. I have a 40 Skater right now. Just look for the Larrys Engine and Marine E-Z Up, right next to Predator. We will be there all week so stop by or give me a call and we will go for a spin.

Yep, they have not been run since the freshen up and come with Teague prop bags. The diffuser rings are cut off of these also. They are sweet.

Thanks Tim. There is this old school guy in Tucson who has a prop shop. I tried a Mercury Lab finished after I tried this one he did and lost 2mph. He is the coolest guy with so much knowledge on how a prop should work, what to do to make it better, etc,etc. I can talk with him for hours. The best thing is there is only a one time charge until it is right. I have had him do at least 5 props and they always have worked perfect the first time. Thanks for the check! I have those strainers too if you want them. See you at Desert Storm.

No prob on the ck was a good trade. LOL For sure Desert Storm. I am really strapped right now. I may be a boat bitch soon! sh.t. What would you let the sea strainers go for? I really only need one unless I get the super chiller some day. My boat had one prior but not now. Bro deal???LOL Thanks again either way!!!! :)
