Ok, so how fast will this old pig run? 24-7 pantera.

You are pretty much where mine was. The biggest issue I had with a Bravo prop, was when getting into the throttle, too much bite/blade area on the prop would make the boat want to lay on its side. Once you hit a steady speed, you could counteract it with a jerk of the wheel, but I didnt like it all. Tried left hand props as a counter measure, and they helped, but didnt cure. The one 4 blade i did like on the boat, when I wasnt looking for top end, was a Hydromotive. It made the boat less sensitive to trim and eliminated some porpoise without manhandling it too much.

Just to save you money and Time. Don't bother going shorter as a Imco SC, the lower is longer and gets too close to the transom. the only way they work is on a Box. Minimum a ITS box. Just Prop that Baby right and you'll be happy. good luck with it. it looks Great!

Porpoise comes from a prop without enough bite to keep the drive moving forward which lets the Bow keep falling back into the water. B1's also continue to climb out of the water and have a decent pull sideways. A Pantera is only 6' wide at the Transom in the water, it will need some Port Tab under 45MPH. After that Lift them up.
