I just bought a 29' 2001 PQ with 7.4 MPI (310 HP), It came with 25 pitch Marige plus 3 blades, just wondering if that was the best props for the boat and motors, please let me know if you have had better luck with other props, I was told it will do 65-68 with those props and i only had it out once this spring so i do not have many hours behind the wheel. Yes many of you may know this boat, it was Calvins

My '96 came with 3 blade 27 pitch props, I have the standard 7.4 MPI's and it spins them up to 4800 RPM (according to tach's). Dreamometer reads 74-75ish; GPS has touched 70 a couple times. I have K planes and they are needed to keep it from getting hairy (chine walk). I'm thinking about hydraulic steering to hopefully cut down on some of the chine walking.
I see that most are running 25's on the standard MPI's, I think those would put me over the rev limiter? Why am I able to spin the 27's and still hit max RPM's? Anyone else running a different prop on their Enticer?

Were your 27's labbed?

I don't know if they were labbed, but if I were to guess or bet I would say no. Will labbing drop my RPM's?
Yes, Part Number off starboard prop is: 48 19836 A50 27P; they are a solid hub
