where to find factory prop info?
 

Is there a website that has what props came on which boat/engine combo? I have a Velocity im helping out with and I cant find what size props came on it from the factory. Its a 2000 320 with 496 HOs.

A 2000 Velocity 320 most likely came with either a pair of 26" or 27" Hydromotive Q4's.

That would make more sense than the 22s on it now.

Often, a boat for sale will end up delivered with the dumbest props the seller or his buddy have on hand.

Saw one arrive with two RH props... Gotta love it lol

Exactly why I'm trying to find what should be on it.

I would try Cool Breeze on Osage Beach (LOTO)

Hrodromotives
 

If you can find hydromotives go 26 pitch. With 22s you must be banging the rev limiters on the 496s

I have a friend with a set of bravo 1 28s. Ill look for a set of hydros to try. I havent taken this boat out yet, just got it running straight. will be taking it out Monday after work or whatever day next week looks best for weather.

I would think a set of 28s since a 280 with single 496 runs a 26.

Danimal- give the Bravo 1 28’s a try as they should be pretty close. I also have a 320 and for overall use prefer the Bravo 1s over the Hydromotive. I have several sets of props and the Bravo’s are a couple mph slower than my Hydro IV’s but they are much better in handling, planing, and cruising.

What speed and rpm are you running with the 280?

Ran 68 at 5000ish (on tach) any day of the week. Would run 70 in good conditions. Best run was 74 with light fuel.

looks like your hull with 26 @5000 at 74 with 1.5 gear ratio you have 10% slip. I don’t think the 320 with 496s will do well with 28s. 26s or have it labbed to a 27 would be what I would run. hydromotives get good bite and low slip numbers Best of luck
