Damn.....that's strong!!:evilb:

you might want to add from the Factory test of a 1990 242 SS with 502 mag 390 HP and Mirage 23
61.4 at 4900 rpm

I would guess you need a 24P bravo four blade prop.

that's the prop bblades sent me to try I picked up in cruising speed but gained nothing in the top end as of now. The motor spun a main bearing during trial. Hopefully ill have it back together in a few weeks and will get better results.

The 23 was a bit slower. This engine was built to rev so I'm right in the sweet spot with this engine.
