It still might be worth trying a 24lh hydromotive! I believe the Mach stern driver is an older style prop no longer produced.

I have a 97 29ft fountain with a single blown hp500. I am running a 28p prop and it takes a bit to get on plane when I am loaded down and can only pull about 4900rpms and 74mph. 1/4 tank of fuel and 2 people and I can see 80mph. My boat seems to run the best trimmed up to about 5-6.

Sorry for the hijack, but I would like to get a hold of fountain for my test report as well.
Where does one get the number to call. Thanks, ken

I have a 27ft fever single step with a 525sc, I have a 26p bravo 1, and it rides pretty noticeable bow high, thinking I need to try a 25p Hydro, as I think if I went 24 I would spin it to high, seeing atleast 5000-5200 with the bravo 1. What do you guys think, is the hydro the no brainer choice? I seem to get back and forth answers. Figured i would just post here instead of creating another prop advice thread considering im so similar to the 29 single
