What prop would you recommend for 4800 rpm capable of 80 mph on Sunsation dominator. Currently mirage 25 3 blades on 1.5 bravo. Boat is 94 so not step hull. #11 ever made

I think your gonna need a heck of a lot more power to hit 80 in a non stepped 32 sunsation. Def not happening with l29 heads and the current setup.

I would imagine comp is near 9:1? At least you can go out and enjoy the day. Drink some beer, looks at some bikinis, and call it a day. Leave the tools in the shop.

I have been on a few 32s, stepped. One with 450 hp 502s, gil dry exhuast, that runs 81-82. Other one had 310hp 7.4 mercs, that ran upper 60s. Other buddy has one with warmed up HP500s, extension boxes, and shorty lowers, and runs mid 80s, also stepped bottom.

A 30 pitch with 10% slip would be 81mph.

4800 divided by 1.5 X 25 divided by 1056 = 75 - 10% = 68
