I currently have 26 and I'm looking to see if there are options other then stainless. Ideally I'd like to go composite, but I'm not real hopeful as it seems all bravo iii options are stainless.

imho.....composites are crappy and good only for a spare. They flex far more than Stainless or aluminum and any impact means replacement is required. The only positive thing i can say about them is that they are cheap. Stainless or aluminum would be my choices.

As for the pitch....how does your boat perform with the 26? (mph & rpm's at wot). If you are within the recommended range for your motor then you could make some minor changes to gain a little more oomph or top end depending on the above info.

Hi bblauvelt,

I have the Bravo III as well and yes, the prop selection isn't even close to what the single prop outdrives have but don't feel down and out, there are benefits to our outdrive the the single props don't have.

As Mikey said, no no to composites... and besides, I don't believe there is a set for our drives anyway. He's also right about how your current performance is with the 26 props. We do have a little leeway with diameter and pitch so exactly what are you looking for, better takeoff and planning or better cruising and top end?
