Which is the best choice of props for you, to obtain the maximum speed?
thank’s a lot.

My friend had a heavier boat than mine. We put a set a 5 blade Maximus on and it ran very well. Not as fast as mine, but the attitude was much improved versus the Bravo 1 4 blades.
My friend has since sold the boat, and I don't know the guy who owns it now. But, if you can find the person purchased it, he might be able to help you. The boat is similar to yours - weight / lay-up.
His was the Finish Line boLineIt's purple and yellow~ish and the name is on the side of it.
Hope that helps.
*By the way, you may consider removing (cutting/ shaving) off the external water pickups and utilizing the pickups on the sportmaster lowers. That should gain a couple miles an hour and help not picking up debris on top of the water, if you boat in the Atlantic, etc....

I have a 39 that is a very similar set up to yours. I have 600 SCIs converted to 700's. With the 700's I was running the best with factory labbed Maximus 34's. I had to bump the limiters up to 6k because I would hit the 5400 RPM limiter at just under 3/4 throttle. With your 600's I would think either 32 or 34 15.25" Maximus. This past summer I tried, 32 Bravos, 34 Bravos, 36 Bravos, and 33 Max 5s. The best prop was the Factory Labbed 34 Maximus at 15.25". I am actually converting to SCX-4 drives and will be spinning cleaver props next year. I'm now at 830 hp and no way will a Bravo live with that hp. If you are interested, I'm going to list the 34 props I have. They may have 8 hours on them. Let me know If you are interested.

Just to update what I posted above. I was told when I bought my boat that the boat had been converted to SCI 700s. I'm in the process of refreshing the top ends, and the engines are 600s as the cams are stock. With that said, the best I saw was 97 mph with the 34 factory labbed Maximus props. I was a little disappointed I couldn't hit 100 with 700's. Now that I know they are really only 600's, I'm happy to see 97.
