500 EFI's I run 28" Bravos, with that being said I want to move up to 30" and work with them to dial in better cruise speed.
Do a search there were a no# of prior discussions on this.
Good Luck,
JB

Stock 28 bravo 1's in my 1997 382 with tired hp's just bumped 70mph on a good day with a light load. Motors are fresh now and the lake is too low to test. hoping to get a few more mph and then tweak the props.

My (former) 2002 had 34P Bravos when I got it but after removing Prochargers and building 540's I ran 32P Bravos. I later went to 15 5/8 28P Maximus with similar results but better cruise speeds.
EDIT: Your boat is a 95 and a straight bottom. I'm willing to bet that drops pitch 2 points.

04 with 525's,running 28 Bravo's,with a Bblades touch. I also have a set of 26 Maximus. Great mid range cruise,but just feel like they have to much bite.The 28 Bravos give up a mile or two midrange,but pick up 4 mph on the top end. 75-76 mph. Hope this helps.Jeff
