272 Baja Islander w/ 496HO
 

Just finished the install if a 496Ho. I plan on running my 3 Blade on Monday for the first run. I am looking fo a new prop with good top end but better mid range. Was thinking of a four blade to get more bow lift. Any ideas?

Thanks

Mirage Plus + will most likely be the fastest and give the most bow lift.
Bravo 1 will probably give the best cruise and planing. Probably will lose 2-4mph on the top speed.

I agree Griff. The Bravo I propeller will achieve the goal of improved cruise and will carry the boat well but indeed there will be a trade off. Probably around 2 MPH on top. Post your results and we can take a look.

What prop did you go with? What kind of top end and at what rpm's are you running?
