Default Prop what pitch

I got a 24ft Baja with a 454 mpi with Gil exhaust. It seems to go pretty good now with a Bravo1 24p 4blade and revs 49-5000rpm. It just barely hits about 65mph on the speedo. Is there more mph there with possibly another prop pitch or design.

No it sounds like your right there. My buddy has the same boat. thats about as fast as they go stock. I would leave it alone.

Isn't the rev. limiter @ about 5300 on the 454? If it is, you could get your current prop labbed, pick up 200rpms, and top end as well. Carder

Is it a 24 outlaw or a 240???

I would guess a 240 from your numbers. Almost all 24 Outlaws with stock 365-415hp run a 23 Mirage plus for the fastest top end. Plaining time sucks.

A 240 is lighter and has less deadrise, so a 25 Mirage plus would be the prop for the best top speed. Cruise speed and plaining time will suffer though.
