Just wondering what prop everyone else is running on there foutian? I cracked two blades on my 28 bravo and they are sending me another one. I freind let me barrow his 26 five blade hydro, I love the mid range punch and I can run much more trim. I am all over the rev limiter but am going to see what rpms i turn with the 28 now that the boat is broke in amd fixed. Would like to go to a 28 five blade hydro.

Mercury has had a problem with some of the 28 four blade bravos cracking the blade so the dealer says. It ran 82 on the gps speedo on a cooler day at half a tank with me and the wife to be in it.(Cant remeber rpm) With the hydro 26 five blade will run 76 at 5,400 but on the rev limiter. The boat plane better and has much more lift. If the rpms ar close to that 5300 with the 28 I will be ordering a hydro 28 five blade. The boat has a 525 with the its box and a xr drive(sportsman) Any body heard what the new cavation plate is supposed to help due?
