For each number pitch up you should loose about 200rpm's I would think that if you check around your area for a prop shop that would let you try out differnt blades start with a set of 24p 4blades that should bring your revs down and less slip and more mid range to top end if reves are still to high go to a set of 26p my guess is you should be perty happy with the out come all around. when you talk to the shop give them the speed/rpm's of the props your useing and tell them what you want your boat to do they can calulate numbers and give you the answer. :cool: :ernaehrung004:

Im running 26 bravo props,I have a 1991 292 sr1 with 502s worked.I run about 5250 getting 77 mph gps.Full fuel with 1 passenger.The best I saw was cool day in the fall 82 mph gps about 5350.

I have a 25P - will sell
 

Sounds like a 25P will be the best - 216 220 0650 is my number

Switch to 4 bldes.

You really need to make a call to a prop pro- Hydromotive, BBlades, Throttle Up, etc. There's alot more to the relationship between the props and boat performance than just pitch.

I don't know

Call us anytime and we can discuss your set up and goals. We also have a test propeller program second to none. It is inexpensive and dosn't require you to purchase anything.
