Bravo 3 props

[DaleM]

I'm currently looking for a set of 22" pitch props. I was out yesterday with a family of friends. Took a while to get on plane. I have 24" on now which have been fine with a light load. I plan on keeping those on most of the time but will switch to the 22's when I anticipate a crowd.

Dale I know the feeling had 8 people on board sat night just didn't have the power to get up and go.  but then again I have that extra swim platform dragging

Found a set over at another site I frequent, http://www.crowniehq.net.  I've run with 4 aboard before but these were big people.  Didn't help that the biggest fellow decided that he wanted to stand right at the gangway as we headed out.  You running 24's?

[cwzonk]

yes I have 24's, my normal load try to stay around 4-6 people  with 6 I need to put a couple in the V to get up and cruise,once I am up no problems. I also dumped alot of water out of tank, will put more water back in when just me and wife spend weekend out for showers...
 

We had a great weekend out for the first time in a month.  River here still above flood and current running strong.  Our river looked like Lake of the Ozarks on Sunday.  Everyone here had cabin fever and boats everywhere.

I kept changing my weekend plans as the weather and work dictated.  I have yet to overnight aboard.  It's killing me.  I might just launch alone with the dog some night this week and hang out on the hook.  Not a bad weekday getaway.

I find that B3 props really expensive and are usually properly pitched for your boat. Did you find a place where these props are less than a couple thousand..?

Just suggestion:

If you have a Merc. master dealer in your area talk to their parts manager.  They have a nice margin on parts form Merc and may be able to come down to these on-line prices.  

I was able to negotiate on a purchase I made a while back.

That does not include shipping, which could be a lot due to the weight!

That is why I was looking for used.  Alot of guys will reprop after they get their boat hopped up a bit.  The 22's were a little too small for the guy I am getting them from so I am getting a pretty good deal on them.
