1998 fever 32 NEW MOTORS!
I just pulled my stock power out ( 502's) was running 26 hydromotives , and getting around 5000 rpms , I just purchased a set of labbed 30's , WIll these be ok ? good? bad? Also considering picking up a set of 28's just in case.
Oh by the way i am installing a set of 500 efi's . Anyone else have similar set up?

I know dozens of guys who have done this and I have done it on 2 of my own boats. Works every time.
Good luck.

The lab 30's might be real close. RPM wise the 27 Hydros stock would be about the same as 28 Bravos stock, which should be about the same as the lab 30's. On my 99 35 Lightning with 500's I ran 26 Hydros stock and 28 lab Bravos, both sets turned right at 5400. Speed wise both sets were the same.
