mittens

Ok picked up the new Boat.

2002 342 has 496 Mags, in it, spinning 26P Bravos... To me i think its to much prop? what you guys think (I think the mag HO came with 26P and they have 50 more hp).

ran it a little testing and 4200-4300 rpm was all I can get her too and that’s trimmed right at the blow out point.... you go more and it’s just pointless. I think I need to try 24P any thoughts? boat was doing 62 upstream.... with 1/2 tanka nd 3 people.

it is a full loaded 342 genny and AC. so its not the lightest.

it does not porpose. rides nice and flat.

You're right, somehow I misread the word pointless as porpoise. Must be tired. Sorry.

Get a set of Mirage Plus 23's - spin them in.

You dont need 4 blades but you can run them if you want.

mittens, I think we should try some23 Revolution 4's.
Let me know if you might want to do this.

Thanks,
Brett

I understood mittens to be running 26's not 28's.
Is this correct?

Rev 4 23's or Labbed 24 B1's are options as well as other offerings.

Thanks,
Brett

Wont he get he most out of Mirage Plus's? The Rev 4's didnt do anything on my boat.

The Mirage Plus props could be faster on the top end.
The Revolution 4 props should provide better all around performance.
As with any application, owners goals, driving habits and experience and each boats personalities come into play.
Knowing your goals and do some testing is the sure fire way to get to the target.
Getting another 500-700 rpm is the starting point.

You're right, this is going well,,,, not. I think it's good I have these days off.
