Default 28' what props?

So my boat Consistantly runs 81-82 all day long. I'm banging off the rev limiter. Running 28 labbed bravo 1's from throttle up. Should also note that the props are "river props" and chewed up pretty bad. Question is....what props should I switch to? Rpms on analog gauges seem to show around 5200 rpm.

Not sure but think I saw a set of 30s for sale in the swap shop.

What kind of power are you running to be in 80s.You boat is not a stepped hull is it.

Thanks

Talk to the guys at Throttle Up (since they did the set), and maybe they can tighten up those 28's a touch for ya and get you off the limiters. Since they're dinged up already it might not be that hard to loose a couple hundred RPM's. (The nicks and dings will affect slip.)

No they are not, just moved to the east coast of FL, and merged with another company. Not sure if they are still working on other peoples props though, just making their own.
