Welcome
I know you will love it. I'm already looking for my third. Mine's for sale or trade to something bigger if anyone knows anyone. Would like to go up to a 32 ICC with twins...
Just do like I do and go to Skiatook or Tenkiller. My little 112 will pretty much embarass anyone on those lakes, lol!!

Your 28 does 112 what kinda motors and props you turning because I can't get mine over 90. It had 5 blade maximus 28 pitch props on it and the guy I bought the boat from said each engine was pushing 550 hp.

You should be in the low 100's. I'd go back to a Bravo prop like a set of 30's...otherwise try some P5X hydro's...maximus are not good props for 28's unless highly modified. Are you turning your props IN?

If you turn a 30 4 blade ~5600 you will be ~102...that's what mine ran with 500EFI's stock except the rev limiters were bumped up..it got there pretty quick too. I have boxes, and then ran std. length lowers. No planing issues at all.
The ONLY reason to run a 5 blade on a 28 Daytona IMO is if you can't get on plane with a 4, are out of gear, or want to cruise ~10mph faster at the same rpm...you will loose whack (acceleration) every time when you go to more blades on this boat. I have never tried a maximus, but have spoken to several who have...I havn't found anyone that was happy with them on a 28....
I have significantly more power now and still run labbed 33 bravo's, just went to a 1.21 gear to make them work.

I agree with jdnca1 on the props. His boat is very similiar to mine except that he has more power, more weight in the back and I have a windshield.
With that power, you should be ~105. I don't run labbed props becasue I have cracked a couple of regular Bravos and think the labbed props would crack easier.
I think you could run 30" or 32" Bravo Ones.
