Default Prop advice for 98 27' Fever

Lost prop(along with a sizable bit of my prop shaft) today. Sounds bad, but I have no idea what I had on there. Boat is all stock except for EMI thunder exhaust. 502 mag mpi, bravo 1 with low water pickup. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I'm leaning towards a merc bravo 1 as I believe thats what was on there. Just need to know what size for top speed. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have same boat with 24 Hydro 4-blade on it. This weekend I had 7 people in the boat with a full tank of fuel and she could barely get on plane so I wouldn't run a 26 for general all around use. On flat water with 2 people and 1/2 tank I get 65-66. With the right conditions I get 2mph faster or so.

Thanks for the info. I called Fountain and they were able to pull up the build sheet so at least now I have some idea where to start. Mine was also 24 hydro by the way.

I have a 23 Hydro on my 99' (same setup). I've been told by a few of the pro's to switch to the 24 Bravo...haven't got around to trying one yet.
