Are your 502's the original 502 mag mpi 415hp (black) motors? Look like this?

26 4-blades should be a good starting point. Mine came with labbed 30's, 4-blades (500 HP Merc Bulldogs and extension boxes.). Good luck.

Mark, it's Matt. The props on the boat should be what came from the factory.

Is that hull that efficient that it can spin 26 Bravos in the correct RPM range with just stock 502's? If so, that's impressive.

Just in case we can be of assistance, we have a complete test propeller program with a huge inventory.
We can offer you test propellers from numerous manufacturers so you can try before you buy.

As a suggestion ,before you spend a lot of money on new props send the props off to B-Blades and have them labbed .26,s came from the factory and they run very well with that AVS hull. Very happy with mine !!!
