27 Daytona Prop
 

Has anyone tried a Herings 5 blade on a 27 Daytona? Ive got a 07 with a 850hp blower motor, thinking about trying one just curious if anyone had and what results they had gotten.

What speed are you seeing with 850HP in your 27 Daytona ?!?

If you have a bravo style drive, I'd be real careful about running a 5 blade prop - especially on a single screw. That is a ton of torque with not much slip...It will probably give you better mid-range and better top end, but it may be at the expense of accelerating the demise of your bravo.

If you're running a six, nxt or something a bit more hearty than an XR design - rock on.

Just my 2 cents.

what drive and prop are you runing now? is it a shortie if so how short? I want a roost like yours

I ran a labbed 33 Maximus and stock 32 Maximus.Didn't like them,felt bogged down.The best setup is 34 stock Bravo,2" shorty,propshaft level with the lowest point of the sponsons.890hp blower motor,1:27 lower.This felt the best,remembering i race it.Trouble with it is i was 103 and on the limiter @ 5800 with a fair bit left.Tried going down 1 1/2" but didn't like it.Now have a 1/2" spacer,still with the 34,on the limiter @ 106.Racing again in 3 weeks and going to practice with a 36 Bravo.XR and shorty have been great.Last race for the Eliminator though,into another boat.Hope this helps.

The pic is of my old 28 Daytona. I wish my 27 threw that kind of a roost, lol.

I have a 2" Shorty propshaft even with the bottom.

How does it feel/run with that setup?What ratio and prop?

Feels good, diffenetly faster but it is a little hard to get on plan, I have to keep the rpms around 3000 and let it roll over. With the 1" shorty I didnt have any issues. Ratio is 1.35 and a IMCO SC, prop is a bravo-1 32 labbed.

26 Icc
 

Running a 29 hydro 4 blade with a Bmax poker run. Boat seems to be setup perfect, but MIGHT use a little more top end. Currently at 116 mph with a 950 HP Beck motor. Cant get er to throw much of a roost though, lol....

Cat, i had to make a stainless plate that bolts to the upper cav plate.Extends 5" past and 1" downturned on the sides.Can't get up without it.

The IMCO upper has the wide cav. plate I think this helps me alot. I had 5 people and 2 full ice chest in the boat and I got it up on plane but I couldnt let it get over 3200 rpms or it would blow the prop out. What size blower do you have?
Thanks for the info

540/871.Dynoed @ 888hp.I tried to shorten my plate and had serious issues getting up.Went back to the full length and never a problem.I'll send a pic if you want.

I would like to see what u did.

On my 27,propshaft 1/2" below the lowest point of the sponsons i can't get up without this.

Very cool. What size blower do you have? I have a 1071 on mine but Im looking to upgrade to a 1471 just dont know if it will fit under the hatch.

I have an 871 running 6lb.
