By the way 365hp and the 420hp - has square port heads with Alium. Manifolds. If someone had switched motors and put the Alium. manifold on the peanut heads, your boat wouldn't run for ***

A 4 blade (24) will give you even better mid but is hard on the drive if your jumping waves. My boat with dinged up 23's and 330hp 4400 and 62MPH But 65 in rough water. Small point -- salt water is faster then Fresh

Salt faster than fresh? Guess you don't have tides then...I lose sometimes 5 miles an hour in tidal waters even in slack tide...the post's a year old...wonder how he made out?

That setup will never turn a 25 plus thats basically a 27 p prop. Try a set of 25 mirage non plus and start from there.

Salt more bouyant than fresh. It is faster

My 311 with mags will turn a 25 pitch Mirage (not Plus) 4900 rpm and 68 Gps. Motors are stock except for Gil manifolds. Speeds are in salt water with slight chop.

exactly what mine turned with the mags with intakes and emi thunder...
