Need Prop Help - Where to Start
 
Need help selecting different prop to try. Have 1999 Eliminator 33 with Extension boxes and Imco lowers (1.25 gears). Engines are producing 900 HP. Current props are Bravo 4 b 30p. Hitting rev limiters (6000 rpm) running 115-118 mph. Boat jumps on plane like rocket. Can even get on plane with one engine. Boat runs very flat, would like to get some bow lift. Can only trim drives very little.

Want to try better set up but do not know best place to start? Want more top end and better cruising efficiency. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Expected something, anything?

32p B1's are probably your next choice...
...call Brett @ BBlades for demos

That was my original thought, but several guys from around the area suggested 5blade? Thought someone might suggest advantage of 5 versus 4?

You will increase stern lift, vs bow lift, going 5 blades vs. 4

My past Hydromotive 5 blades came from a cat like yours, whose owner bought them and experienced way too much stern lift. Needless to say, I got a great deal on them.

Give Brett a call, no sense reinventing the wheel.
