Default Best place to send my props?

I have a 2000 32 Dominator twin 502mpi bravo 1 28p all bone stock. First time out yesterday air temp 60f water temp 45f calm water WOT 4800-4900rpm GPS max 75.6mph with 2 people and 3/4 tank of fuel....Seems alittle slow to me and I am pulling the props off and looking for suggestions as where the best place is to send them....There are so many options, looking for feed back. Or just shut GPS off and look at bogus 82mph speedo....lol

Customer service recommendations here from OSO will be for both BBlades and Throttle-Up. I would no doubt use BBlades...have visited their shop and talked to Brett several times. Great product and the best customer service!!! And besides...BBlades is close for me

Had some 28 Bravos labbed this winter by Brett @ BBlades. Great service delivered when promised. Haven't been able to spin them yet ... can't wait for the season to open.

XHERE,

Your motors are running just a little low. We would want to see the rpm a little closer to 5000. Your speed seems about right given the boat and power. There may be a little left with prop work.

With increased heat in the summer your rpm will drop a little. Lab finishing your current props are probably your best option. Your slip is good and in the summer your should be running right at 5000.

If you have questions don't hesitate to call or e mail.

Matt

Smile Re: Best place to send my props?

You are there with prop selection. The rpm level you're at is perfect to Lab the props you have. In this cool weather we can put you tapping the rev limiter allowing you to run in the meat of the power band in the summer months. If you go to the 26's, you will lose some cruise speed but will be able to run the props year round. The 28's will require tweaking but will pay the best dividends.

There are some fine adjustments we ocasionally do with the 32's depending on your configuration and running attitude.
