The boat would have been built with 28" Bravo I props from Mercury Propeller.

Thanks, yes I boat on the Chesapeake Bay. Had her out yesterday running around some. I'm just south of Rock Creek.

Also about the props, i'm running 32p bravo 1's, I'd like to try a set of 30's but the 32's run pretty well.

Wow 32's is your boat have the original engines or do they have some work done to them? Mine came with modified 26's and engines are factory 502's but i am going to try some bigger props. once i get it back together...

312's with 502's or 454 MAGS came with 1.65 Bravos and 30P props. The 454 MPI came with 28's. If someone but 1.50 Bravo drives on the boat then 26's could be the right prop for the boat????

I had a 98 312 with stock 502's and those 30's were perfect for the boat. The guy that bought it from me sold it last year.......I installed A/C where the port-a-potti would go if anyone has that boat now.

Thats a good idea about the AC!!!! Would like to spend some overnights in the fastech. I just t bought mine this year first time out within two hours it dropped a valve seat locked engine up.... just got engine back the other day... hopefully next year i wont have any major issues. It has 502 mpi's with 26's on it now. I am going to change the exhaust with some kind of after market no more cast iron stuff.... along with some other things over the winter. I will find out over the winter what ratio the drives are.
Did you ever replace the fuel pumps? If so did you put stock mercrusier l fuel pumps on?
Thanks

get ready to spend some coin. Headers are super expensive and tend to leak and destroy motors
