Default Prop Help

hey guys hope someone can point me in the right direction. Need help on getting my fountain dialled in prop wise .

1992 27' flat bottom fountain
650Hp @5500-5500rpm
Standard Bravo one 1:50

Right now I'm running the 4 blade hydromotive 24p and running 5600-5700rpm with trim still left .

What do you guy suggest would be ideal prop for my application?

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Joe jr.

Try a 26p Bravo. A bit better bow lifter I am told vs the 4 blade hydro... Unless you are fine with how it acts, then simply raise pitch 2" or so.

Yes, 24 seems a little on the low side.

Depends on the desired RPM change. Every inch of pitch is approx 200rpm. So, if you want to drop RPM by say 300-400, raise pitch number by 2".
