Well, I was able to speak with the always helpful people at Formula and they sent me most of the data I needed. It turns out the the 502/415's came with 21P, the 502/500 came with 23P and the 454/525 came with 25P. The particular boat I'm speaking about must've had 23P 3-blades
because the specs match almost exactly (speed and RPM wise).

The top speed info I could get was on the 502/415 and it topped out at 62MPH @ 5000 RPM. The 502/500 topped out at 70 MPH (no RPM given) and the 454/525 topped out at 72 MPH (no RPM given).

No fuel data was given for anything but the 502/415. It consumed 26 GPH @ 3000 RPM (which is 34 MPH). I'm sure that by switching to 4-bladed props the fuel consumption would drop and cruising speed would increase.

Doesn't seem to hateful... :cool:

I have some 24P Bravo's on my ol' 292. I'll keep those and try 'em on the 382 if all goes well. :p
