Yeah I agree something is wrong you should be seeing speeds 75 +
What rpms are you seeing?

seafordguy · 11-05-2009, 08:46 PM

1990 Cafe
Blown 502's with ROUGHLY 580-600 HP (I guess closer to 580)
Imco (Bravo's)
4 Blade 26's
Probably a 75 MPH boat
I have seen 73 without staying in it very long, and with a good amount of fuel/etc.... on board.

51-5200rpm.

Be sure to search the CIG section - LOTS of discussion on what everyone runs.

I am only getting 4400rpms with my 28 Pitch Non-Labbed Maximus Props. My engines were dynoed at 605hp at 5500rpm. That is why I am selling them in the classified. The reason I put this post up was to figure out what props I should get. I don't know what I should get.

I think I need one of the following.
26 or 27 Pitch 4 blade Bravo 1
26 Pitich Maximus Labbeded.
26-27 Pitch Hydomotive 5 blade Non-labbed.

What do you think, anybody....

I would suggest 26p bravo 1 and spin the props in. I have an older strait vee and spinning in made a large difference.

I would say stay with bravo 4 blades, you would probaly be good with 26p 4 blade bravo and could gain a couple of mph by going with 28p 4 blade labbed finish.
