525SC'S with bravo 1 drives and Latham steering, and 280 k planes. In the future I'll be looking to upgrade the drives just to make sure.
It came with 26 pitch hydromotive 4 blades, but they are having a tendancy to blow out and cavitate. I'm going to tyry 4 blade bravos this w/e.

Run 3 blade mirage +'s. My old 28 came with bravo 4 blades, I switched to the mirages and it ran much better. Required less trim and flew very level. I spoke with both Bobby Saccenti and Eric Froberg. They both said the boat was built to run the mirage's.

CFD5--- That's great info, I wouldn't have thought to go back to 3 blades, as the 4 blades seem to work better with everything else. Now I've got to figure what pitch -- I guess I'll start with a 27 and go from there?

I was told, the boat was made for the Mirage plus. Froberg said to have them labbed my Merc. I had 450hp 454's and ran labbed 25P mirage plus. Turned them to 5500. It would have been better with 27's but I sold the boat.
