After spending lots of cash on different props I ended up with a Merc 22' Bravo one. After a test run I could tell instantly this was the one but still felt the motor was too deep. I raised the motor three holes and everything changed for the better. Now I have ample stern lift, A higher motor height and now can keep the bow down without the trim maxed down. Also with the Bravo my cavitation plate is completely out of the water on plane and I can pull 90 degree corners in the channel without cavitation. Other than being expensive, Merc props are excellent products.

Hey moose Keith here I’m not sure if I have the best set for my boat but it’s the best it’s been. If I was to see if I can do better with a bravo 1 to what I have considered what pitch do you think I would be better with a 19 or 20 or or 22 . Been rough the 2 times I was out but I’m getting around 23 mph 3500. 30 mph 4000. 33 to 35 4500 With the 18.5 to rough to run wide open will try next time calm. Ken told me most Suzuki don’t do well with bravo 1. I could trade him back the powertec for a bravo I
Thx Keith
