Prop question
I was supposed to have a 28 pitch labbed bravo 1 on my Velocity when I purchased it. I could never get the boat dialed in with this prop. I sent it out to be rebalanced and blueprinted and they told me the prop was completely messed up. They sent it back and it looks great. Does anybody know how many mph I might gain? I was hitting 70 at 4900rpm. Thanks.

Woops... just noticed you have a single so this may not apply.
I have stock 28 bravo props, 1.5 gears and run 80 at 5k and 84 at 52-300 in a 30 velocity, if I can drive it... It does have -2 IMCO lowers
Just for compairison sake

Thanks for responding. It is a 2007 29' Velocity 496 mag HO, 1.5 gears. The boat runs great, but I noticed the prop just didn't look right. They didn't say exactly what was wrong with the prop, just that it had been re-worked before and wasn't done properly. They repitched it to 27. I'm hoping for 3 - 4 mph.
