I would try the 26 if i was you. I run a 26 b1, 1.5 bravo, 496ho, and can spin the prop to 68.6mph @ 4850ish rpm i think. Your motor will spin to 5400rpm right?........that should get you upper 70's i think with that prop and get on plane how its supposed to. A 28p b1 just sounds like too much.

Hey Jeff-I`ll take the 26p Bravo 1 LH if nobody else wants it!

I have `97 27 with the 500 HP spinning a 24p Bravo 1, and I`m in the 70`s easily, running mid 5000 rpm`s.

Would like to have the 26p just to compare, if it is reasonably priced?

Sorry to far away for me to have you come and take them off the boat for a day.

I misunderstood, I thought you had them up for sale.
