What prop?
 
Ok i hate to ask like this, but i have noooooo idea where to start. I know i need to call a prop shop but i would like a lil more info before hand.

I have a 382 sr1 non fastech with hp500's. The props that came on the boat are ALLLL wrong by the little ive talked to people. 3 blade mirage props. are any of you guys running similar setups?

Im just looking for a little edge-a-ma-kation

I found that three blade props were fastest on my Formula 336 SR1. I tried everything I could get my hands on from 24" to 27", three blades and four blades. I ended up 72.5 mph at 5250 rpm with 25" Mirage. The engines were slightly modified HP500s. When the Mirage Plus came out, I picked up a half mph. The four blades were smother and had a little faster mid range at the same rpm.

Labbed 3 blade M='s will have the best top speed in most cases. The Revolution 4 is a great propeller on your hull for all around usage and great mid range performance. You can't go wrong with Lab Finished Bravo 1's built specific to your boat if you want to take the time to test a set of them first in stock configuration. We then use that info to determine the correct recipe with which to Lab your propellers.

props
 
I am running a 311 sr (bravos) with 365 454s. I like the hydro motive q4s 26 pitch 72.1 5000 rpm. same top speeds as mirage props. 3mph better cruise, will cavitate in rough water getting on plane.
