Fastest prop info. 35 lightning?
 
Hey guys I just was wondering who might have spend their countless hours and money testing props for most speed on a similar built boat as mine? I have a 1998 Fountain 35 Lightning with twin 575SCI's with Dart heads, intercoolers, 8.9 to compression ratio, Crane 741 series cams. The motors make 859 hp and 805 ft lbs of torque at 5600 rpms. I have XR drives with Imco -2 shorty lowers. I have had Hydromotive 4 blade 31 pitch props on it and went 104 mph. Boat way squirrely over 95 with those, bow steer.. I currently have 32 pitch Bravo Ics on it now and like everything about them but haven't had a chance to get top speed out of them yet? I have been 94mph with less boost in motors than I ran the 104 mph pass with Hydromotive's. I have a hunch that this Bravo's won't have as much mile an hour? Ferried Bravo I's? Or something else? I know Hydromotive's have too much transom lift! I like the Bravo's for the bow lift cararistics. What's you guys dig on this?

Ferried? Characteristics, not other, damn phone!

Oh my drives are 1.5 ratio and I turn props in.

How Many RPMs were you turning at 104MPH?
