i had a 1.50 ratio bravo 1 stolen and found a nice 1.36 ratio bravo 1 drive,question is how much will that change the RPM needed to turn the same prop.
Can I correct by using a diff pitch prop?
Its on a late model 21ft ski boat with a 350 mag 300Hp.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

You can correct it with a prop. You would need to go down 2" in pitch...that will get you very close. Use this:

the only down side will be you may loose acceleration,how fast your boat use to go to a certain mph may be a little longer time to get their..Also you may loose the spap from the engine's power..
