My Hammer has the base model big block, a 7.4 MPI rated at 310 prop hp. It has a stock Bravo One drive ( 1.50 ratio ? ). The engine is stock with a good exhaust system if any of that matters.
Julie, I was wanting to call you and speak to you. I have seen the THROTTLE UP ad in one of my boat magazines, but could not find it. Can you give me a contact # ?
Thanks,
Donnie Smith

Kirk,
What brand are these props? I assume they are all 3-blade....
That 24P sounds good. Do you still have it?
What altitude do you run at?
THanks!
Donnie

With my 1998 Hammer, 310 HP I get the following results in fresh water:

23P App. 4800 RPM 64-66 MPH (Great Hole Shot/No Top End)

24P App. 4800 RPM 69-70 MPH (Good Hole Shot/Good Top End)

25P App. 4600 RPM 71-72 MPH (No Hole Shot/Great Top End)

RPMS are approximate, but very close as I haven't run a 23P or 25P in a year or so. 4800 is WOT, so I try not too exceed.

Anything else? Just ask.

Don Man, don't be to optomistic with these numbers, because true gps , thats not possible. Thats is 0% slip factor, which is mathmaticly impossible, I had a 97 hammer with the 310 hp and a 23'' it ran 61.6 on G.P.S at 400 feet low humidity @ 4600 rpm, thats .08 slip which is good, This boat is still in the family, I sold it to a fellow Texas OSO'er www.boatpropellers.com/propcalc.html
