A Friend Of Mine Had A 1986 357 And Saw Mid 80,s With Roughly 700 Hp. The Only Difference Is He Had Kaama Surface Drives.

I rebuilt my 2000 502 efi's from stock up to around 500 hp in my '86 357. Top speed on GPS w/ 25P Mirage's is 68.5 mph @ 5100rpm.

i installed a pair of 540ci 620hp with the TRS drives and so far I hit 65 mph with 26 bravo1 4blade props @4800 RPM
next year I want to try 24 bravo 4 blades to get the rpm higher and see if it helps
thanks

Hey Steve,

I have a set of labbed 24p Bravo1 4-blades, and interestingly enough, I want to try a set of 26p Bravo1 props on my 303. I need to get my RPMs down a little bit.

Come spring time would you be willing to swap for a weekend or two so we can both see how our boats respond to the different props???? Let me know!

hello BowenCT.

I would be interested in trying the swap. to see if the 24's will be enough. have your props been labbed? mine are formula take offs from a dealer last year never labbed. but they cruise great i spin 45 mph at 3300 rpm's
