Prop selection info.
Running a 22 bravo 1 on my 2006 27 Glasstream 496 HO, I can pretty much hit the rev limiter doing 3500 and nailing it. The boat will slowly pick up speed but only to around 60-64 mph. I dont think its lac of power but more likely just the prop blowing out from to much power.
1. I have been wanting to try a Bravo 26p from the local Mercury dealer but they seem to never have a demo available. Does anyone know anyone who demos props in S.W. Slorida/Naples/Fort Myers or someone local I could meet up with and test one?
2. I have seen more and more people running 5 blades. How is the performance on these, and should I try one on my application or stick with a 4 blade.

Larry,
you are probably closer to a 24 Bravo, I would stick with a 4 blade. Propgods is a friend of Mrdemeanor, they were on our cabbage key run, he was on demeanor's boat, and sat right next to you at lunch. He is up in Sarasota, and will meet you at the ramp and let you try whatever ya want. I have Demeanors # somewhere if ya cant get him on S&F.

That would be great, and as long as his pricing is competitive he can bring a new 24 & 26 with him to buy. The guy who owned the boat had a 24 (got stolen) on it and said it still wasnt enough. Everytime out I feel like im wasting fuel with the 22?
