30 eliminator Daytona which prop to use?
I have a new to me 30' eliminator Daytona with twin stock 496 ho's,1.36 drives and 30p bravo 4 blade props.
The boat is very slow to plane and seems to be lacking power until it starts to roll over and the bow comes down, at that point it will blow the props out if I stay in it. Stock Bravo drives on extension boxes.
Any recomendations on prop selection?
Id like more hole shot and better cruise. Im willing to sacrafice some speed on the top to gain on the low and mid range areas.

Pretty sure they are even with the bottom of the main hull. There is a small step up at the back just before the props. maybe 3" long. I can double check these measurements next time Im at the lake with the boat.

Part of your issue is the gear ratio. I would rather see you with 1.5:1 gears. This would help the low end grunt.
Has anything been done to the props and what is your WOT rpm in standard load conditions?
Your X dimention sounds fine. Some venting as the bow comes over is normal.

Still havent had a chance to go fully WOT. I was at 4600-4700 rpm and slowly climbing but ran out of Room to stretch it out any further. I agree with the 1.5 ratio but when I spoke with Eliminator today they said they only put 1.36 drives on the 30's,which I dont totally believe as a few owners with 30's have 1.50 drives. The props are just stock 30 bravo props from what I can tell.
