Prop Question (HP 600's)
 

We have a 382 with 600's and Stelling boxes and want to get a spare set of props. What are the best props for highest top end for this setup?

Will check my notes tomorrow for pitch,but we like Maximas,non labbed. I believe 28's ,but I will confirm. Hope the non labbed comment doesn't ruffle any feathers,but honestly,we have had better luck with stock props than Merc Racing labbed. Of course,Throttle Up or B-Blades labbed may be better,my comparison is only between Merc stock and Merc Racing Labbed.

Magifloat - I have a 96 382, garage queen with 600's - 1.50 and run a 28 Bravo 1 - Sounds like you like the five blades - do you have speed vs rpm for your set up ? No way this baot will every be fast so I'm happy with good slip numbers and good mid range -

Bad info from last night,the non-labbed comment is for Bravo I's,not Maximas. Our testing shows Maximas benefit fro labbing,but in most cases labbing increases slip on Bravo 1's. Maximas'have enough additional blade area to not have as much spip problem. We use 29 lab Maximas on 382/600's.

Fastech bottom or old style - what is you slip with Maximus

It's a Fastech. With Labbed Bravo 1's,81 at 5100,with lab Maximas,86 @5150.

Majicfloat,

Thanks for the info .... glad to see that you are back!!!!

I order a set of Maximus from BBlade - I have 540's with Weiand 250 blower 3 lbs boost is 645 Hp - Boat won't go fast but it does look good getting there -

I am not impressed with labbed b1's on the 382 fastech, way to much slip.
