I'm not sure what kind of hp you are dealing with but I'm more than stock. 28 LH 5 blade hydro motive. Good all around prop, especially midrange. I could be wrong but I think the newer 27s are designed to run RH props.
I keep my tabs at 3 majority of the time. I adjust accordingly to conditions and speed.

went to the 24 pitch bravo four blade and picked up some mph and rpm running 64.3 on gps. the boat was speced with a 23p mirage and 5050rpm at 66 mph so im close to stock. gonna add a lil more power this fall and see if I can get in the 70s pretty easy.

I have 29 fever with 28p 4 blade prop, run about 77mph with a full tank of fuel and 3ppl. Looking to hit low 80's. Any advice on props or do I need more horsepower first?

Well I'm kinda wondering what I can do to get a couple mph more. I have the hp500 motor with weiand blower at 4psi. M buddies aerotech challenger pulls away a little bit at top end? Boat will only spin about 4950 Rpm's. Wondering if I went down a little bit to maybe a 27p if I could pick up some Rpm and speed? I know nothing about props? Just looking for more speed, what advantage is a 3 blade prop?
