I'm not running near the power you are. NA motors dyno'ed at 580 hp each turning 28P Bravo's with 1.36 gears. Best for boat is 93-94 mph small chop and light on fuel. I think I need a tad less pitch because I can't turn them over 5000.

I think you should easily turn 28's. Maybe even a 28 five blade....

I would say the 28 4bl at that HP,if its to much you can lab them.I would think the extension boxes should help.

What was your rpm at peek hp?

well ran the boat last sunday, turning a custom set of 27p bravo 1 4blades on a 1.3 gear. boat turned 5600rpm (right at the limiter) at 98mph, with 2 people and a full tank of fuel.

I agree. My buddy has a 388 with 850 NA's, B-max 1.3's and boxes. He is running B1 4 blade 30's get 95-97 mph.

Your boat would be a lot faster if you could get some B-max's with the 1.50.

I would say 31 or 32 4 blade would be close. Mabe lab finished. I have 850 hp. B max with 1.3 went 100 mph. Switched to herring 5 blade 30s got another 8 mph. But I don't run boxes so I'm not sure about that.
