These were the props that came with the boat and the 330's, but I never got around to replacing them with props appropriately pitched for the 540's. I'm doing that this winter, my wife is getting me a pair of 25p Mirage Plus's for Christmas. I'm hoping for 75mph, but most importantly an increase in cruise speed. I was only getting 40mph at 4000 rpm.

Sit back and have another cocktail :drink: while some of the rest look for their nuts under the back seat. I keep preaching these are extreme rough water boats not stepped, flat water, radar bragging hulls. I'll second Vette 131, my boat weighs just a bit more than 8,500lbs :D
Mine runs 72-75GPS with twin 700HP and # 3 SSM. That's with 16.75 x 23 four blade Mercury cleavers. It will not run 90, but don't get next to her if it's rough. Pass these real world, honest GPS figures on to those dreaming of 100MPH in a pleasure cockpit Mistress :rolleyes: |

Chr!st, some bass boats hit 95 around here most days, the only thing that gets yapped about however at the end of the day is how'd you do in the sh!t, and a cig is king in the sh!t!!!! |
Re: Performance expectations with new engines
