If indeed you are seeing 5200 with stock 26's, the Labbed 28's will work.

We may have some Labbed 28's for testing when you are ready.

ok thanks so much, now that we have the pitch approximately right what company and model would be the best fit?

Of course we would love to supply your propeller needs. We offer propellers from Mercury, Hydromotive, Turbo, Hering, Acme and our own.

The Bravo 1 series propellers is going to be very difficult to beat when Labbed specific to your boat.

The only way to know for absolutely sure would be to test some propellers and use that base line to move forward. Let us know if we can help.

Humm,, i wait to see GPS :eek:

Don't know if my numbers help but in my dead stock 88 with stock 330's and bravos I hit 69 in fresh and 70 in salt. Gps speeds. 25/27 mirage.

I don't see why another 340 hp couldn't give another 15 mph...

Most fountains from what I've been told run a 1.36 gear. (mine was 1.50)

poitevinm 09-27-2011 09:58 AM

we were using hydromotive 4 blade 26 pitch and unfortunately there was a problem with the gps and it was only 85 mph top speed
