    i tried a 26 bravo 4 blade and it did not give the boat enough bow lift and in result i lost mph. That was the only other prop i tried. So in my opinion the Hydro is better for the Check hull design than the Bravo. '97 253 Convincor 575hp B&M, 27 Hydromotive, Teague Drive.

    Best i had the boat was 81mph (GPS). usually runs a consitant 78. that was using a 27pitch 4 blade hydromotive. It will probably run faster with the right 3 blade, but i didn't want to give up cruising speed. Mark '97 253 Convincor 575hp B&M, 27 Hydromotive, Teague Drive.

    I actually changed the one color on the side of the boat (The darker purple section). This used to be a magenta color. After 3-4 years of my friends saying that the boat looked like an easter egg...I decieded to experiment. One bad thing (actually good thing), is that checkmate does thier...
