Best Prop setup for 35' Cafe Racer
 
Just purchased a 35' Cigarette Cafe Racer the end of last summer. It has twin 502ci mercruisers, Holley 750 carbs, TRS drives, and 3 blade 23 pitch props. Was thinking about getting a new set of wheels for next summer. It is a heavy boat and don't expect to set any speed records. Just wanted a little more top end. I can hit the rev limiter now. Boat runs around 60mph. A friend though there was an old thread that said a 25 3 blade was a good prop for this boat. Is 3 blade or 4 blade a better option?? Thanks for the help!!

Andy,

You can try my 4 blade 24 pitch bravos if you want. I'm all over my rev limiters and need to prop up at some point anyhow.
