25 Outlaw guys...what you running?!?!?!
hey guys-
i've got this posted in the "Prop Talk" as well but thought i'd better ask my questions here to since expierence speaks the best! here's my situation.....
I've got a 2002 25 Outlaw with the 496 mag HO. Currently it has a 25p Mirage 3 blade. It turns about 4300rpm when running wide open, and sits at 63gps with full fuel. I'm clearly over propped and i know this, but what i NEED to know is...what prop will give me the best performance overall? I really need to get those rpms up at or very close to the 4900 range, which i hope in turn will increase my top end by a few! But besides all this another huge problem i'm having is basically NO bowlift!!! when i'm running full out, by boat is sitting near flat in the water! like, from just in front of my wind screen, back is dragging.
and yes EVERYTHING is working! drive trim, tabs, it's all good. NO my hull is not water logged, and no i don't have any extra weight in the bow. (anchors, coolers, etc.)
Someone please help me out here! i want bow lift, higher rpms, and more top end....all out of a prop! thanks guys!
