2000 42 lightning staggered 500efi
 

I need new props as mine are a little ruff. Has 26 hyd on it now. Should I stay wit 26 or it there better or faster props. I've heard 28 bravos or 27 hyd. Boat comes on plane great wit 6 people an full of fuel

I swear my staggered had like 32 or 34s stock?? 4 blades. I have been drunk since then though..

Seems like 26's would want to blow way paste rev limit of this boat.

What is your maximum RPM achieved at WOT?

52-53. Will bump limiter

I've heard of both being used as you described. BBlades is a great place to help. I'd suggest a labbed 28 B1.

Yes, call BBlades - they are very helpful and will point you in the right direction.
