Depending on other weight items in the boat, gen/stereo try a 28P B1. I am running similar power with a 26 B1 labbed up to 27. I hit 5400 rpm ~76mph. I will try a 28 when I am not paying off other stuff. I have heard and maybe someone can comment that the 5 blade props are harder on the drive. With a stock Bravo drive and 600Hp patience going to plane and pulling back on the stick when jumping wakes is very important. 2 years for me, so far so good. I have a 25OL.

5 blade
 
I spoke to brett today from b blades, we had this same conversation about my 27 baja boss 509 m3 procharged 730 hp. brett said a 5 blade will be the same as a 4 if you treat it with a little respect. a little gental on the stick, he said it will offer a bit more stearn lift over the 4 blade...

You'll kill the drive with a 5 blade. I would think a 28 4 blade. I turn a 30p at 5800 with mine (830HP)

Definitely needs llift. Mine rides like a flatbottom :)

I have a 25OL.

What kind of engine or other upgrades have you done to the 25 OL?

Have you tried a BBLADES Bravo 1?Even though I don't have a BAJA I found out my 2000 26 scs Wellcraft Excalibur has the same hull as the 272.The boat's dry weight is heavier @5000lbs but the x dimension,strakes and pad are the same.Even my dash and cabin look almost identical.
