I had it built though and was first owner.

Buddy's boat with 496 Mags came with 26P B1 four blades. No complaints. His was a Baja built boat.

I am betting 30 b1 would be the way to go.

Thank you.

My friend is not a top speed type of guy, more a cruiser who will have more than 2-3 people in the boat most times.

It was odd to me to see a 32 pitch prop come stock on the boat but as I said I have zero knowledge of the model of boat.

If it wasnt the ugliest weather I've seen in years at this date we would go out and give it a whirl.
Solid wind and rain and ugly cold. Most years the marina is full with boat enthusiasts getting out for first time of the year on this long weekend.

Like posted before... 26 bravo 1 is what should be on there with a 1.5:1 drive. Who knows what Fountain put on there.
That boat will never swing a 30 let alone a 32.

On the Baja Built models. If it had 496 Mags 26p was the standard. You could lab a set of 28 and spin those. With the 496 HO's 28 was stock and could spin a labbed 30. I think I read somwhere that Fountain went with a different drive ratio. Baja used 1.50 on the 30 from what I remember. Hope this helps some. Have a good easter...:drink:

Thank you for helping. He just had someone at Fountain look at build sheet. The drive in that boat is 1.65 to 1.

Based on that fact what prop pitch suggestions?

Let me explain whyI'm asking. This is an 09 boat.....never sold till now. I dont know if it was sitting in the corner and someone threw some props on it on the way out the door 4 days ago without paying attention.

This is pretty much spot on with a 1.5 ratio. If it has a 1.65 which you mention in previous post I would think 28 or 30's....and 30's might be a stretch if not labbed. It has got to be be working the engines with 32's. Why would Fountain change the ratios to 1.65?
