What is the defference between a Bravo I 1:50.1 and a 1:65:1

[jcoyrochny]

Just busted my Bravo I 1:50.1 so I brought it to the mechanic he could not find me a 1:50 ratio but he did find a 1:65 which according to him would not be much difference, the engine is a 7.4L V8 330 hp, any suggestions. He also told me that for the most part all bravo bottoms are about the same.:smt100

You'll lose about 4mph off your top end. Your hole shot would be slightly improved and your time to plane should also go down a bit.

To keep identical performance you'll need to go up about one or, possibly two, steps in propeller pitch.
