Indy,

It's a 28" LH 4 blade Hydro. That was the suggested starting point by the folks at Hydromotive. I used a 23" before the mods and that was about perfect for the boat/engine combination.

I ran a 24 Hydro rh before the Procharger and a 29 rh with it at 5200 rpm's. Both of those props were stock. Good luck, I think your boat is gonna fly!

Lee,

What speeds are you getting now? Any problems with the engine?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,
My best speed so far is 85-86 in perfect conditions, I can get 84-85 most of the time. Right now Throttle Up is making a few adjustments to my prop so hopefully I will get a little more out of it! To date I have had no problems at all with the engine, my only complaint with the Procharger is after a wide open run the back of the boat gets a light film of soot. A freind of mine here has a Imco 2" shorty that we are going to try on my boat some time this summer and I will post the results here.

Indy27,

Sorry, I've been on vacation (fishing this time). I've had the boat to 84-85 gps @ 5400 It runs fantastic- cannot believe the difference. I sent my prop in for labbing and repitch up to 29" and hope to see 86 mph. I'll keep you posted.
