27 Fever- Optimum SS Propeller
 

I'm running a 14 x 24 4-Blade Mach Stern Driver SS propeller. Boat gets on plane decent, Top Speed at WOT: 5200 RPM K-Planes All the way up on 1, 1/2 tank fuel, Drive at about 2.5, slight chop at the water surface, just me a my girl in the boat (shes weighs a buck 20 soaking wet and I'm 190#), she'll give me 70 mph on the speedo. Does this sound right? The Boat is powered by a 502 Mag MPI with about 260 hrs on it and it's bone stock. Just want to be sure and want to know if there are any better props out there i should try. Thanks for any input. JP

Sounds real close to me.

I got a mach. runs about 72 MPH, and another Prop,( Bravo 1), I put about a grand into, and it goes 77 w that. (GPS)

A grand for for 5 mph...i wouldn't mind trying that. who did your prop work?

Brett at B Blades. he is here on the forum somewhere. He let me try one first to see what would work on my boat. Friggin Prop just Locks solid . I love it

I have a Left Hand Labbed 26" Bravo that would be perfect for your boat.

The prop was labbed by Mercury Racing and is stamped.

I have the original box also.

$400.00 plus shipping.

Should get you 2-5 mph.

I have a hp500 running in a 27 Fountain.I was running a 27 x 14 1/2 mach @ 76 mph @5100 rpm's.The prop got damaged and i sent it to bblades for repairs.When i got the prop back i now run 69 mph @ 4500 rpm's.I have sent it back three times with no improvements.I am very disappointed with bblades.

I'm interested. Do you have any pics? What condition is it in? Was it used since it was labbed?

I don't want to piss on anyone's parade here, but you may loose some RPMs with a 26p Bravo I blade. And you know what that will do!? Just m:drink:y 2 cents

stock prop on mine was the 26" Bravo... that sure is the right prop for mine..

Apples and Oranges!!!:drink:

Pete what MPH are u getting out of yours?

When i was stock I would get the 67ish and now 75.

I just ran mine over the weekend. 4 people and full tank ran 75mph. Tabs at 2 and drive at 5. I've only had mine out a couple hours so far.
What's the best setting for the tabs/drive to start at when getting on plane? Just want to be as easy on the drive as possible.

Coming out of the hole I run my drive all the way in and my tabs all the way down...

Tabs full down and drive all the way down also. then pull tabs up then drive.

Bought the labbed 26 Bravo
what a difference
75 on the speedo all day long with 4 people full of fuel (compared to 68 with the Mach)
i forgot the rpm, tabs and trim nos.
i'll post them next year when i get her back in the water
boat feels more stable and smoother and it planed even better
the prop woke the boat up

1994 fever 27 new crate engine 5026TX 415HP MPI old bravo 24 running 66 -67 MPH at 4900RPM-5000RPM
prop shop gave me a 23 revolution to demo last weekend 5000RPM 65 MPH . 24 was much better getting on plane. but it is old been repaired that can only explain none or little RPM change.I am going to try a bravo 1 26P demo this weekend hoping for better results .any input would be greatly appreciated.

How did you make out with the 26 I'm it the same boat and want to get close to 70...I'm thinking of getting a labbed bravo 1 24p from Brett, seems like he's been getting the 70-72 out of a labbed 24 from what I've been reading
