I bought a 32 with 350's on the boat. What props do you run guys run on the 350's

I have a 30 w/300's and run regular 24P bravos. I'm thinking about picking up a set of bravo FS's for next season. I'm reading that they are the best for the 30 anyway.

I am running 24 Bravo FS on my 2019 30 with 350s. the Bravo FS is what everyone is going to tell you to run. what props are on the boat now
Pitch?
wot RPM?
wot Speed?

Gary864

Currently the boat has 23 pitch 3 blade Mirage props.

I've only had it to 65 mph and climbing but that was just a short burst and just a touch of trim on the motors. This is very different feel from my last boat (34 Phantom) so I am taking my time to get the proper feel of the boat. On the Garmin it shows the previous owner top speed of 71.6. I hope to play a little more in the next 3 weeks as I will be using it down in Florida while on Vacation. I do know that at 3500 rpm its about 34 MPH at 4000 rpm I think I was 42 mph. This was with 160 gallons of fuel and 6 adults on board and fresh water tank full

based off of the previous max speed and 23 props and max rpm of 6400 that a slip around 10%. These boats take some getting used to over 65. I would say just keep putting in the seat time until you are spinning the 23s 6400 and want more speed. I had 25 M+ on my 30 with 350s and was ventilating them out of the hole, if this is the case I would go up to 24 Bravo FS, the bravos run about 1" short on pitch but should give you a bit less slip with the 4 blade

what hole are your motors mounted in? top hole sets the motors lowest, bottom hole would have the motors highest.
Do you have a digital readout of trim? if so what trim are you running?

Gary864

yes I plan to get seat time before any changes are made. Thanks for your info

I will check to see what holes the motors are in I will be back there Saturday

My port Tab seems to have to be at 2 to 4 to level the boat

Motor trim in minimal as I am still getting used to the boat, I would like to run the boat without passengers. It is completely different than my last boat (34 Phantom). With that said I have many hours behind the wheel of many different Center Consoles, as as in easily over 2000 hrs.

The general consensus is that these boats run best with Bravo 1 FS, I am running 24" right now and the pitch seem dead on. I am still chasing stability over 70. Im going to give a set of 5 blades a try in the spring will let the community know how that works out for me.
