23% prop slip? WAY TO MUCH
ok real fast boat with same power with trs ran 78mph
last year switch to B1s and set x up a little high ran 74 with 24 pitch bravo ones.
Got some new 24's props boat wont go over 71 lowered x 1 inch with spacers still 71 mph
29 foot mirage twin 388 small blocks
6100 rpm 24 pitch props = 23% slip? @ 71 MPH
Im guessing its the props?
How about nose cones?
Any thing to gain by closing up water pickups on drives dont use them have pick ups on transome?
HELP

low water pickups are interfering with the props water flow?? if you still have them on the boat and are using them just make sure they dont disturb the water entering the props..
