Hey guys I am new to OSO ... What an awesome site. There are a couple of us who have 1988 311s one with 330s and the other with magnums both have bravos and currently have mirages 23 pitch tried some 22 bravos (4 blade) didn't notice a damn difference ... actually slowed the boats down.
Not looking for top end (would be nice but not my main concern) looking for the ultimate cruising 40 mph range @ 3000 , 3200 rpms looking to go to a little faster at lower rpms. My thinking is if I can get the ass end out of the water this will help with fuel economy as well and be able to handle rougher water .....
Any thoughts or direction would greatly appreciated on this matter.
Thanks Jeff
