I'm running about 500 horse in my 251 and I'm running 71-72 mph with a 26 Bravo 1. I've tried Hydromotives, they're good but I seem to like the Bravo 1 better on my boat. I did like the solid hubs of the Hydro's because I'm cracking the flow torque hub kits.

should see 70mph, with the 24p you would be running at about 5300rpm's,(thats with 12% slip)... and a 1.5 ratio drive.
