Set up help! 37 OL
Last year I got the new to me boat and here were the results I saw before I had a major melt down. Running 34p bravo 1 props w bmax drives 1.26 ratio and imco lower. Best I saw was 5050 Rpm and 97 gps. It was dead flat water 3/4 tank of fuel and 5 people. If you calculate that w the Bamm slip calculator its 25%. Engines were about 925 hp ea.
Had a valve go and was down as of June 25th. Engines are getting rebuilt and Im going w about 725 hp per side. Where should I start w props? I was thinking of trying a 30p 5 blade and maybe even 28's. I want to get the slip numbers down into the teens and still need to talk to the builder as to max rpms I should be lookin for but wanna hear some thoughts.
