I have a 290 Enticer - twin 502's - i run 26 pitch, four blade props

At high speeds it get's pretty loose in boat chop.

My props turn out......

Any thought's, feedback, or opinions?

what kind of speeds are you seeing and what's it like coming out of the hole with those 26s? I thought the 4 blades where more stable than 3 blades yet they cut down on the speed?
I'm running 502s and 23 pitch 3 blades spinning out and the best I've ever seen is 71.5 mph. Mine will chine walk just a little on the top end. Not always though, just gotta find the sweet spot of trim and tab.

Keep them turned out, turned in will add bow lift and turned out stern lift. Just got done testing on my 34 Vyper and turned in I was all over the place, turned out right trip/tab let go of the steering wheel.

It runs 80 @5000 -

When the props are on the opposite side, doesn't it effect the driveability?

With them turning out, I only noticed a more stable ride at WOT. Cruise and docking seemed the same. But I was testing with my shifters in the wrong direction if you know what I mean. A lot of thinking was going on too. 2 nights ago dug into the Gaffrig shifters and changed the linkage for my new turned out rotations. Could be happier.
Turn them in on yours, it’s only a couple nuts. Testing is ½ the fun. Let others know of your findings.

i hear yea on the testing thing lol - hitting a wave a 80 scares the crap out of me when it's walking all over lol

we did the change at the shifters, so we have that all accurate - the first time i put it in reverse, and jumped back on the trailer lol

do all Bravo's have left, and right hand props?
