I run a dialed in BBlades 32 bravo. What should the correct hering do for me.

540 QuadRotor at 9 lbs on 100ll. ITS drive , standoff box, imco shorty.

Assuming they are both dialed in to your boat correctly; the Hering would be physically stronger and more durable. I used to run Bblades tuned Bravo1's but now I run Cutting Edge propellers and have a Hydromotive as well.

I had a F29 with 2 Ilmor 710 motors,it would run 137 with JJ Gibbs Bravo props,I had 3 sets from Hering and the last set would finally run 135 on a very good air day,they are just too thick but hey are durable.If you have a #6 drive the Hering 5 blade is very good.

Surfacing a bravo style prop is not good , you will loose a blade on a bravo Herring I have have a Herring 5 blade which is now a 4 blade hanging on my wall . These cast stainless props do not like the flexing going on I have had good luck with non labbed maximus props .

Hydromotive P5X claims to be desinged to surface, and I've been surfacing Cutting Edge props for a couple years now without one fail.
