We just re-powered our 03 Talon for the spring and are looking for prop choices.Last fall we were running a pair of tired Kieth Eickert 850s, in fact some of her holes leaked down @ 80 percent. With 1.24 ratio dry sump #6s we ran a best of 131mph gps @ 5800rpms with 17 1/2" x 34 p 4 blade Merc cleavers.
With fresh power the previous owner claimed 135gps ever day of the week and a best of 137 with his 5 blade 33p Herrings.
We have since re powered with 565ci 1000s with the same 1.24 drive ratio.
last fall we purchased a new set of Merc 17 1/2" 35p 5 blades
,which with the tired 850s were hard to pull past 4700rpms. What are you guy's running for props, power, pitch?
Does anyone have a similar combination? We are looking to pull hard up to 6000rpms @ 135mph or so, i'm not concerned with a big Top Speed!

Mine has KE 850 with big tube headers, I have been told they are 900 HP due to these huge headers. Is intercooled, fuel injected too. Have 36 pitch cleaver 5 blades, put aireators on the drives, first drive with Rod of honker cut marines did an easy 130 mph, GPS tattletale says it has done 146mph . This boat runs real strong, and stable at sipped. Am asking $124,000.
