i swithed from a bravo 3 to a bravo 1 and lost 4-5 mph. the new bravo 1 has a nose cone, is it possible that a nose cone can make you lose speed? or is there another answer to this problem? any input would be appreciated.

You most likely changed gear ratios with out knowing it.

Check to see what gear ratio they gave you it may be a 1:36 you need a 1:50
BTW I heard Sunburner got a killer deal on a 26 Lavey craft, if he needs an out drive I have a bravo 1 HP LWP 1:36 for sale, only 20 hr. on it, I put a new IMCO SC on when I put the blower on.

the gear ratio i was told is 1.5:1 the hole thing is just frustrating. i tried a 25 4 blade 4300 rpm. a 23 3 blade 4600 rpm a 22 4 blade 4700 rpm and each prop change lost of speed. BTW the prop change was in the order mentioned.
