Re: friend's Cafe project
PROPS - CAFE 35
I am running two stroked bulldogs (4.5 X 4.75 stroke) and Arizon Speed and Marine, Merlin heads etc, EFI - Motors where build by Gellner Marine and est. 615 HP -
National Marine lost my Props and gave me a set of 25 Mirages (RRRRRIGHT) so I looking for a good starting point to prop it - I do recall running 29's Mirage but not sure and hit 73 at 5250 RPM but I think the boat has more Grunt that that - Do you think 30 Bravos is too much prop?? anyone out there with a CAFE running similar HP (1.5 gearing) should I go with 28 Bravos ???? Help

I run a cafe with 540hp motors at about 73mph at 5200rpm throw old TRS drives on 24p four bladed hydromotive they seem to work the best for me. I run some 26p bravos four bladed and went slower and at little more RPM
