28 scorpion..... What props?
 
I have been told that 25 mirage plus is the props to go with... And that's what I have. But I have also been told its a high 70's boat. I'm turning my 25's at 5100 rpm and running right around 73-74 GPS. On a prop slip calculator that's right at %9 slip , that's seems to good. But I'm lost as to how I can exspect to go any faster with these props? Oh and leading edges have some small nicks in them but I'm afraid to send them off mid summer unless I have to.

http://bblades.com/ Brett has given a ton for advice. When I get to replacing my props I will be using him.

I messages him... He offer to sell me his boat. He messages back once asking if I bought the boat I went to look at..... That's all I have heard from him. I'm sure he is busy getting his boat ready for summer/sale.

Are you spinning your props in or out?

what props are you using? yes Mirage Plus is the only way to go.

I can put mine at 80... gps.

A friend of mine has the same boat and power, and also looking for props. Are most people running the 3 blade mirages. Has anyone had anyone had any improvement with 4 blade bravos, if so what size?what did the cruise speed do ?

Thank

[ATTACH=CONFIG]504363[/ATTACH]I'm spinning out...and it looks like they are going out to get trued up....... The bad part is ... I had a talk with the crew about putting the ladder up 5 min before it happened

Well beleave it or not Air marine called today and told me the the props were fine. I had them sharpen them up. I got my dash out for new gauges so I think I'm going to flip my cables on my shifters now and turn them in. I was told docking would be a bit harder and I might get some chine walk... But should gain a few MPH.
