382 Prop info

J.B. Marshall · 06-24-2006, 10:20 AM

I run four blade 28 P Bravo props on a 2000 - 382 w/500's. Can others w/382 provide me with what you are running and what kind of performance you are getting (Planning speed, mid & top end) Did you change for a different prop type & or pitch???

Thanks,
JB

The setup you have it perfect......maybe lab them but that is about it. I have a 382 and had labbed 28P with stellings boxes. I tried other props but that combo was the best.

Thanks,

Nort's motors are worked so it's hard to compare WOT rpm and speed with your 500's.

Same thing with my motors. I am turning stock 28 Bravo's at 5400 rpm and 84-85 mph with 645 hp N/A Sterlings through Max Machine beefed XR drives and Stellings boxes. Just had some 28 Bravo's labbed in off season but have not run them yet. Anticipating a 300 rpm increase at WOT and 3-4 mph increase in speed.

I'm running a five blade Hydromotive - 29P on my 2004 382. I have an aggressive X dimension, a sportmaster lower unit with extension boxes, 575 SCI's, 5000 rpm - 77-80 mph. (depending on the load) Tried the Bravo 1's-31P (labbed) and I had trouble getting on plain and I lost 2-3 mph on the top end.
