Prop info
Hey guys I have a Baja 275 w/496ho I currently have a 21p revolution 4 prop that was on the boat when I bought it. The pitch is to low I'm spiking 5500 rpms. I went on mercurys prop selector and they recommended 3 props a bravo 1 22p, a rev 4 23p, and a mirage 23p. What prop do u think will give me the most speed/ best performance I hear the 4 blades have better hole shot and handling but that the mirage is usually about 2 mph faster top speed. My boat currently runs 61 on gps at 5400rpms would love to see 65 maybe 66 if possible and get the rpms down to 5000 where they should be. Any input is greatly appreciated

BTW. Not trying to be unfriendly here at all. But you don't need to post the same question in three different forums. Take it easy, you'll get an answer.

I've never been at the limiter in our Sea Ray cruiser, but they are not at 5050, we run between 5000-5075 depending on load. 5150 is where my manual says they will kick in, if I remember correctly. 4950-5050 is where the 496HO's likes to run. Ours are the Horizon inboard motors, but same difference.
