I have Bronson Hill labed 23p three blades. With those best I have ran is 69.8 at around 5000 rpm. But the boat always feels planted. Can not pull the nose up with trim they just begin to lose grip.

I have a set of 4 blades I got from Fleg. Not sure what pitch they are. I think he said they were 24p labs, but they may have gone up a pitch. He would know more, I forgot. Anyway the boat gets out of the water much better with those nose rides higher with out having to trim. But I can only spin them at around 4400 rpm and a best speed of 65ish.

This is with 454 mags 365hp.

Sounds about right, they lose a few with 4 blades, but handle SOOOOOOOOO much better.

Put some -2lowers on that bad boy and your set.. Those props would be perfect for your boat.. I believe they are pitched up to 25 by Houston Propeller

hey by the way maybe next spring I can borrow them .. Since I put the new cams in my motors I can only get 5000 rpm with my 28's motors will turn 5600+

I was thinking I just need more Hp...

If I sell the boat you may be able to buy them back.

Nightlife, can you share a photo of your bulkhead removed on your baja? I want to do this, but I am worried that my storage space under the rear seat will find its way into the engine compartment.

That would be a problem if you keep the original back seat. I built a whole new back seat so I don't have to worry about that. You could make a piece to go inside the original bench to keep stuff from falling into the bilge. Would not take anything more than a piece of ply cut to fit and a couple of screws on the side of the seat.

All I did was take a sawzall and cut it off at floor level.

So just an update to my journey. I had the other engine completed and we ran it on the dyno at Nickerson Performance. Motor ran really well at 491 hp. We started to loose some power and pulled the filter and cut it open..... Nothing good at all....
