Offshoreonly.com - 353 props and speed?

Whats the advantage of the 1.35's for the 700's? We just repowered to that range (naturally aspirated) and still running 1.5's but are looking to swap out the stock B1 4 blade props to something that will raise the bow more.

Easy over 90 with twin 600 -

almost 100 with twin 700

Props 32 Maximus lab finished

600 - 1,50 gears

700 - 1,35 gears

compared to 496 HO `s 73-75 MPH

and 525`s 76 - 80 MPH

The 600`s are the very best package

You only gain about 5 MPH from 425-525

13 MPH from 525 - 600

another 6 MPH from 600- 700 (not available from factory)

Would be interesting to see speed numbers of the new 8.2 HO `S
