Default Props

Has anyone ever tried a different prop besides a B1 on a 35 flame with any success? Im running 30p's with 502's turning 5000 rpm at 80mph. Any insight would be great.

I don't know what a B1 is, but I have a Flame and I run 32 & 30's.

Was gonna field that one, but didnt want to type it out on my phone.

What are your goals Freek? What sort of 502s are in your boat? MPI, 500EFI, etc. Are you looking for better cruising, bow carrying, hole shot, top speed? Really need details to get you the correct answer.

So my Flame makes about 750 HP per motor. I run props that get me on plane the best within reason. I personally don't care about my top end speed. I also run stock props, lab props tend to be "slippery" on the bottom.
