looking for prop information ,,, i have a 2001 29ft scarab twin 5.7's mpi ,,, wondering what max speed i should be able to run and a good cruzin'speed ,,, what's a good cruzin RPM to run?

I would assume they are the 350 MAG MPI's, which is 300HP each, and you have a BravoI setup? I dont have the Scarab, so its not completely apples to apples, but my hardware is as above (ive got a 28zx). My props ar Mirage Plus 23's. I run 71mph with it. I would think your performance would be similar (or better) provided you have the 300hp motors.

IMO, I would say 66 or 67 mph Top Speed GPS.

shag, what rpm's you turning. i have 350's with dart heads LT1 cams alum GLM exhausts. i hear the boat is good for 63 at 5200 rpm's. i haven't got it in water yet since i got it back. 23 mirage plus. alphas. 27 Nova III really a 26 with molded platform. doubt it could match your Donzi if everything else was equal...

5100... Hitting the rev limiter in ecu. What Dart heads? Im looking for HP myself. Thinking of Dart Pro1's along with their single plane intake, set up for mpi.

they are the cheapie Dart heads. 007 sportsmans with 76 cc chambers and 1.94 valves. and i just found one cracked when i took it to get a really bad valve guide done. i am stuck with an old spare pair of 624's for 1 motor for now. if spending good money, go aluminum. better everything plus another 100+ lbs out of the back of the boat..
