29 fever - new boat - prop advice
 

I have had many boats in the past, always wanted a 29 Fever, just bought one, will be delivered tomorrow

I know it has the wrong prop, has a small Mach 1 4 blade on it

The boat has a single engine 500HP in it, can someone tell me the correct prop for the boat as delivered?

and perhaps suggestions for differnt one?

best spped from your boat?

engine is a 1997 with 275 hours

Thanks

A good friend has a 98 29' fountain with a hp500 and it has a LH 24 hydromotive. It runs 74 on gps.

....thank you so much for that info

wasnt sure....was gonna try a 28P

a friend has a 2006 w/525 EFI, uses Bravo1, 4 blade 26 pitch, runs 74 mph on gps , he tried 28 P , it takes 1/4 mile to get on plane, so he runs the 26.

you wouldnt want a 28. Id start with a 25 or 26 pitch prop. That seems to be the typical

it seems most people say 24LH Hydromotive......Im I might try a Bravo 1 26LH too

I called Fountain and gave them my hull SN and within 15 minutes they faxed me the test run sheet for my boat. Props, speed, who tested it, etc. etc.

thought they were no longer in business??

so thru more reading......the prop I have is a Mach Sterdrive 14.5 x 24LH

you need a lh24 hydromotive
