Default 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

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'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 my 2 cents
