Checkmate 270 BR
Anybody have 1 w/496 mag HO? 25p mirage is wanting to rock that mother up past 5200 if I'd let it @ 64/65mph. Should I be looking towards a 27p or is that a crazy jump? I'm not sure what mph this boat/motor combo is capable of. Thx

The rev limiter is about 5150rpms. If you're not hitting the rev limiter then its fine. Your tach could be off some.
|
How much people and gas on board?
|
2people, full tank. Thx, just got these
|
Sounds like you're good to go. I'd stick with the 25

I do have lots of bow bounce under 4500.. Would a 4 blade help keep this nose heavy mcob on plain at cruising speed?

My 253 (almost same hull) had a 502 mag and I ran a 25p mirage. I would get the bounce under 3400 rpm (non open bow boat) unless there was a chop. Best way to control bounce is run drive neutral or slightly tucked and a slight amount of tab and bounce will go away. Mine would run 65 all day and a little more with light load and low on fuel with chop. The boat is very finicky about where the weight is in the boat (passengers, gear etc). It rode a lot better with two people than with 4.

I had a 270 BR with a 500 efi back in 2000/01. Best overall prop that I found for it was a 4 blade Turbo. You can get one from BBlades on loan for testing - at least he used to rep Turbo. Good luck.

To eliminate the porpoising problem, a 4 blade stern lifting prop would help quite a bit. Our Quad IV will do just that. Give us a call to discuss in greater detail.
