My 2003 292 came with factory labbed 28's. I really hated them, way too much slipage. Running a set of labbed 30's now, but would like to try a set of bone stock 28's that i picked up this winter. Labbed 30's still have too much slipage, about 20%.

Live Wire II,

Let me know how they work. I bought my 2002 late in 2003 as a new carry-over and have not had much of a chance to dial it in.

66MPH is doing very well for a 502 MAG with a 23p 3 blade prop.....

Sorry, my mistake just a 271 Formula. On a good day I'll bump the rev limiter, the boat only had 96 hours on it when I bought it last summer. I bought a bravo 1 24p, but have not tried it yet.

Ram, if you get the chance try a set of Quad IV's and check them out. They'll give you some stern lift which would reduce drag. Try maybe 24 inch. Worked great on my 311. Just a thought.

1989 Formula 292 twin 454's
spinning Bravo 1 22p at 5100 rpm, tabs all the way up and drives out to 6
3 guys and half a tank (75 gal) maybe 66-67 on GPS.

Same scenario at 3400 rpm, tabs all the way up and drives at 4.5, maybe 45-46 on GPS.
