If anyone could reccomend me a prop I would be all ears. Im getting 5150 out of a 4 blade 26 pitch.

She really does look good and run nice.

Looks Good
Im running a similair boat, tad smaller 89 23'5 Baja Force Has 547CI and runing the same speed with a 24"Hydromtive four blade 5600rpm The prop had slight lab work done to it.
If your looking for more rpms you need to go down in pitch to a 24 or 25.

you could try a 27 mirage to see if you can spin it to 5100 and if so send it to Bret at Bladdes well buy it from him he has a exchange program, that way you can see what works he may tell you to try the 27 and also try a REV 4 25p. I would think your motor would want to run 5200 to 5400rpm. also if you feel after trying the props your 26 was best he could labb it get you more speed and rpms. I found that my 26 b1 prop worked better when I put my 2'' shortie on ,I got mid 80s and needed a 28p. my boats a 240 sport with the outlaw wind screan custom seats 650 hp. I have had for 20yrs now. my other boats getting a new motor GELLNER 1100, I got talked out of putting it in the 24. I almost bought a 250sport like yours in 89 my friend owned a BAJA dealership so he has a 21 yr old 250 sport with a 100 hours on it mint 454 365hp looks like it just came out of the shop. it has not been in the water for 15yrs:eek: . I know in 1990 they added the swim plateform in lenght of the boats so it became a 270 sport. so he and another friend bought the 270 stickers but when they went to rent a slip they would get stuck paying for a 27 and I would pay for a 24 I thought that was funny. but they are a roomy boat compared to my 24 that 6'' in the cockpit area made it feel bigger and the other 6'' in the cabin and height seemed bigger. you did a nice job on your boat. I know both of them useda 23p mirage with there 365hp 454s. I used a 25p mirage with a stock 390hp 502 back in 93. so give bblades a shot if you need there phone # look in the prop section you will see posts by bret. good luck.

I have a labbed 26pitch 4 blade. I am hitting 5150rpm, and tops 73mph averaging 71-72. Bblades is sending me a 3 blade 25 pitch to try out. He thinks it will help solve my problem. I just want to be in the 75-77 range. Im also running my timing at 33, and im wondering if I should advance it a bit.

I would at least try 34 maybe even 36 if compression is not to crazy

very nice work on the updating.

WOW

Beautiful boat and very nice work indeed.

You have to be very proud of it. I love it when we see the classics preserved.

It looks like you guys are having too much fun!

Nice Fish also

you boat in pittsburgh? i will be downtown sunday and i have a 27p marige you could try. i also have a 27p hydromotive but it is on my boat and it has a 1 1/4" prop shaft on it.
pm me if you want to try the prop

Wow, great looking Baja!!

But for the record... those women are not Cougars!! :lolhit::lolhit:

Ypou really think it would be safe to advance the timing to 36?

My engine bulider set mine at 36. Im running 10-1 Comp with aluminum heads and 93 octane.

Might have to try changing the timing. I bet I could get an extra 30hp out of it.

Vinyl work looks awesome.
