prop for a 24 straight bottom
looking for best all around prop for my 24. has TRS drive with nosecone. 1.5 ratio. supposedly has a rev limiter at 6200. I wouldnt go past 5500 but i need to plane faster. worried that a 4 blade would give too much transom lift. its got a 27p cleaver now. not sure of HP. estimated 600+. does anyone have a similar set up?? any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I ran Bravo's...26p I think with 500hp straight bottom. Only thing I will caution is bow steer when backing out of the trottles quickly or moderately quick.

I run Mirage props on my straight bottom currently, but by far my favorite prop was a Revoulution 4 on it. Now that I've upped my hp I've outgrown the rev 4s . .. The mirage works great, but for all around boating that Rev 4 was best. I'd try a 25p rev 4 on it. The bravo had way too much stern lift and I hated it...
I currently run an old solid hub 29mirage but will be changing to a 29+ to drop rpms a bit and improve cruise speeds a bit. I really need to cone my lower and have Brett cook me up a 32 or 34 bravo that works like a rev 4!!!
