What prop should a 650 HP 540 1.5 Bravo spin on a 25' boat 4800lbs?

It currently has a Bravo 1 .4blade 28 doesn't seem like correct

Thoughts?

That should be about right.
It really depends on what rpm the engine makes peak hp at to know for sure.

You would probably have more luck at least giving the make/model of the boat.

^^ What he said.

I can turn a 28P Bravo to the rev limiter (525efi) in a 30' / 4800lb boat.
