Default prop help please

i have a 93 ' 27 fever with a 502 stock b-1 drive , the engine is a carb motor .i have tried so many props without finding the "one" . so far i have tried a rt hand 23 mirage plus a 23 rt mirage that was labbed to a 22 and lately /last year ran a bravo 1 rt hander 24 pitch which was way too much prop wot rpm was 4500 and i was getting 55 maybe . both rt hand 3 blades gave me 5100 wot rpm with 58 mph .there has to be something better . i will try a left hander but what prop should i try first .fyi i really like the way the 4 blade planes the boat .thanks for any help .

I've got pretty much the same setup as you and tman...from what I understand, the B1-24p is actually closer 23p and the 22p is closer to 21p. So I'm thinking Tman is probably on the money with a 22p. That being said...I'm going to start the summer with a B1-24p...if that's too much prop I'll have BBlade lab it to a 22p or whatever Brett recommends. Live and learn! I hope you next prop is the "ONE".

Default rt or left

will you guys run a rt or left hand prop , i have been told numerous times that my boat came with a left hand prop on it from the factory .my boat does have a slight list to it when trying to plane and coming off plane and some have told me that a lefty will cure that .let me know what you all think . thanks also if anybody wants to buy a 24 pitch perfect bravo 1 prop let me know it has been labbed back to a 23 .also i have 2 really nice mirage props both 23's .

I heard the same thing and put a quad IV lefty on last summer...I, personnely couldn't really tell much difference concerning the list you're talking about. Who labbed your Bravo I ? I may be interested if my present 24p is too much.
