24 x 7 boat with 500hp
I have a 24 jaws with 500hp exactly. The prop i have is a 24p 4 blade.
Am i under prop'd? What speeds should i see? |
no
75 maybe |
What gear ratio in the drive? What is your RPM's at WOT?
|
Id guess 70 mph with a 4 blade
|
What does the complete package weigh with people fuel and gear?

The 24 Superboat I used to own ran 76-78 w/425 HP. I ran a 28P Bravo up to 5000 RPM, 1.5R.
|
So your Superboat had 10-11% slip.
This is why I asked for the numbers. RPM X Ratio X Pitch X .0009496 = theoretical speed. Theoretical - Actual = Slip. |
5000 x .666 (1 divided by 1.5) = 3330. 3330 x 28 = 93240. 93240 x .0009496 = 88.54
|
I think a 24" is going to be to small if its a 1.5 ratio drive. Most likely will need a 26 or 28.
|
Its a stock bravo. Have not tested the boat yet going to start with a 24p and see what it likes. I know the super boat is lighter than the jaws, ill be happy with 75mph i think if i blue print the hull it'll be close to 80
