Default Prop decision

27 Fountain non step dyno sheet 712hp 692 ft lbs torque. At 5400rpm. I was running a 1.36 bravo 24 pitch labbed bravo prop.
Out drive broke I put a 1.5 drive on it and as you can imagine it will spin it to the moon. I have been looking for a 28 pitch and have found a 31 labbed . I know the 31 was for a specific boat or set up do you think it is to much for my setup.
I spent a bunch on the engine over the winter trying to get by until I can get the 1.36 back

I have a stock 30 inch LH Bravo One for sale. Might be just the ticket.

OK, thought maybe you were running a lh as I have heard Fountains often like lh props.

Good luck and have fun testing as we are finally getting good weather.

I have a 28 Spinelli that I borrowed to try out on mine but haven't had time yet and I'm getting a 28 Bravo to test soon also. Let me know if you want to try one and we can meet up sometime if the level and debri gets better.

Not sure when we will be out again but if you are headed down this way before we get out let me know and I can meet you somewhere. I don't get on here too often but Tracey knows how to contact me if you don't already have my #.
