Default Bought a Banana

Hi guys, I'm so excited to say that I bought a Banana! It runs great, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot of maintenance on the 300 Yamaha HPDI given how sensitive they are with fuel. One question for you guys, what size props work well for this boat/engine combo? It currently has a 4 blade 22 pitch Bravo 1 prop (I forgot to check the diameter). It jumps out of the hole really well and accelerates great. I haven't had a chance yet to see what the top speed/rpm is, but the previous owner said it runs about 57mph at 5,200-5,400 rpm I think. To me that sounds like the current prop is pretty good, but I was just curious to see what other opinions are. I was a bit surprised to see the 4 blade instead of a 3 blade.

Congrats, great looking boat!

You might want to post this in “general discussion” as there is a lot more traffic there.
