Whippled 525 Efi - What Props ?
 
just finished my install of stage 1 whipples on my 525 EFI on the 32 Sunsation with Bravo XR's.

impossible to get her on a plane with 36 bravo I props....

any ideas on what the best solution would be ?

replacing drive's is currently not an option.

thanks.

5 Blade Maximus props. Call BBlades.

try a 5 blade prop,,,,are you blowing the prop out when trying to get on plane or stalling/bogging down the motor bc of load?

If "36 Bravo 1's" is not a typo -- then I'd guess that's way too much prop, and you're bogging. I'm not an expert by any stretch -- but I'd think you'd be better off with 26's or 28's.

Do you have cav plates? Do the 36 s have diffuser rings? Did the 34s ?

I have had difficulties getting 34's to bite enough to get on plane, heard 36's were same or worse on some hulls. There is a mod done to solve this, think some cup is added to the ears of the blade. Reputable performance prop shops should be familiar and offer you a solution.

huh??? He's got 700+hp a side and the boat should run well into the triple digits with that power. He needs big pitch props.
