So, how did it go?

My brother and father were out, unfortunately I could not make it out with them. The boat was great; however, the boat needs more prop. The 28" Bravo 4-blades were against the factory set (ECU) rev-limiters, so my father went and picked up a set of 30" Mercury Bravo four blades from Trenton Marine today. The boat was running 81 mph, which I think is outstanding for stock 502/415 EFI motors (he totally re-built them). He thinks it may be able to run somewhere between 82 and 84 with the bigger props, hopefully. Tell you more next Monday.

I like the Hydromotives props on my 34. I have 600's and into the mid 90's and bumping the Rev Limiters with them. I need 30 or 31 Hydro's to try next. The 29 are just a bit to little prop. I tried some Bravo props but like the Hydros better.

How many rpm are you turning? Did you have the 29's labbed with cup added? Sounds like your boat is definitely getting-with-the-program!

Barbers Basin, Salem NJ - the weather kept the boat in the garage this weekend.

I am running 5800 to 6000 WOT. I hope to try some shorty drives and larger props in the next 3 to 4 weeks. I am trying to break the 100 MPH mark and think this should put me over that. I will have to fix my speedo and get my GPS back from my brother to confirm the top end once I try the drives. :D

That is strong. My father just tried the 30's yesterday, and he is still hitting the rev limiter. The problem is that it bogs the motor down 200 rpm's once it gets to 5050 rpm max setting via the ECU. I would think that this would be hard on drives, with sudden bogging and surging. He will look to try a set of 32's next. Keep me informed on your propeller success. Thanks :D

John,

Good to hear from you, I am sorry I did not wander over far enough to say "hi." We will be out Sunday, little by little the boat is coming together nicely. Hope to see you there.

Stephen Jones :D
