powerquest legend 260 prop
 

trying figure out prop for my 1998 powerquest. just changed motor out to a 496 dynoed at 624 hp at 5400rpm bravo 1 i know i have to be careful coming out but will have to do for now. just need to come up with prop. i tryed a 27 tempest i had easy access to and ran 71 at 5100 rpm. any help would be nice. would like to see 75 if possible

Id try a 26 or 28 Bravo 1. Cant go wrong with a bravo 1.

I would try a Mirage plus...If you search the forum you will see this prop has consistantly been the best out of all props tested for this hull.
Something doesnt sound right though. I know the legend will run 62 mph with a standard 454 mag efi (385 hp). Dont know why you are only seeing 9 mph with over 250 more hp...definitely keep trying different props.

Call us and we can supply you with multiple test propellers for a test fee of $45 per propeller. I'd start with a 3 blade and a 4 blade prop.

tried another prop out last night 26p bravo1 now at 5100 rpm 70mph

Lab the 26 correctly and I feel you will be right where you need to be.

Go the PQ forum and run a search, myself and several others have discussed this to death. Fastforward tested about 7 different props for the 260, Hydromotive QIV won. So I went off his research, I went from a three blade 24 Mirage Plus to a four blade 24 Hydromotive QIV. BEWARE: A Bravo 1 Mirage Plus is actually smaller than the pitch indicates, it's more like a 22. Not sure what you are running now, but keep that in mind. I would call Hydromotive, with that HP, a 4 blade 26 QIV might be perfect. Also if you can prove you got a 260 to 75mph, I'll buy you drinks all night long, that hull is NOT designed for speed. Good Luck

The Hydromotive IV MUST be the X version (which is a bow lifter). The standard IV is a stern lifter and it will cost you speed (trust me, I know this from personal experience).

interesting thread,as I have same power in a 27 Laser...trying a 25p rev4 for now...also have a 26 and a 28 B1...we'll see
