Default Prop Advice for Baja 29 Outlaw

Hello All.
Am new to this site but am sure some of you can help.
Baja 29 outlaw running Twin 2006 350 mag mpi. (300hp each)
I am only getting 4100 Rpm with current props.

24 Bravo 1 4000 Rpm, really fast off mark no cavitation really happy but 60 Gps

25 mirarge had 4100 63mph gps very slow off mark and lots of cavitation.

I need engines to rev to 5200 there not as you can see. I have had engines plugged in and they have only been to +5200 for 3 mins must be when jumping.
I was thinking buy a set of bravo 1 22 pitch but want some advice before i buy another set of props.

I have had some advice through another forum to go to 19 mirage props. I was also thinking a Vensura 19.
What do you all think.
Thank you.

Every inch of pitch reduction is about 200rpms on the same make of prop. 22's will only gain you about 400rpms. I would start by trying some 21 Mirage Plus props and go from there. Use the BBlades test program.
I doubt you will ever see more than about 65mph though.

Call us when you can and we can discuss some test propellers.
I'm not a big fan of the Vensuras.

Bravo 1s work best on the boat but you have way too much prop for the amount of power!

My friend has a 29 Outlaw with 496Mags and is turning 26P Bravo1s, 5100 rpm at 74 mph. But that's about 150HP more than you have. He tried some 3 blades and they didnt work well.

I would say 22P Bravo 1s would be perfect for your setup!

Using 22 Bravo 1's makes sence but you will need them Lab Finished with the appropriate recipe to bring the rpm up and we would add additional rake angle for bow lift.

I know bravo 1 dont come in less than 22 so i was thinking what about 19, 21 pitch Vensura props.
Would they could be better as there smaller pitch?
Has anybody used these props on baja before?
I will use the boat next weekend so ill give you the results of the second hand 19 mirages i just bought, ill probably try my 23 Lazer 2 as well.
Ill know ill just end up selling some of the props I have and buy a set of labbed bravo 1 22 pitch props, think that will be the best.

We're not huge fans of the Vensura propeller.
That prop used to be the large hub Trophy. Then it was called the offshore and now the Vensura.
Its best used on large outboards with low engine heights on boats such as center console fishing rigs. It doesn't like to run high and doesn't respond well to Labbing.
