454 mercruiser mpi with big cam and rollers need a prop
 
I have a 4 blade 24p bravo on there now, i get 65mph on gps and rpms 5200. It pops out of the hole very quick. Any advice on a better prop to get me closer to 70mph?

Need more info. Big cam and roller skates :) doesn't tell us much.
Boat manufacturer, model, single or twins, all engine specs..................

That stinks about not knowing what the engine specs are.

I thought you said earlier it was a big cam ? :)

That was funny. Thanks for the laugh. LOL. :)

Smiley face after a word or sentence is me joking.

​​​​​​​Engine mods are helpful to know though. Right ? Of course they are.

I have already forwarded this to a group of Baja owners I know. Will let you know what they respond with, if they respond.

Is this giant cam 3/4 or full race.............:D..........if you can only spin your current prop 5200 then you're pretty close

3/4 race :P with me behind the wheel maybe 1/2.... mechanic dug into the motor and what i assumed was a stock motor, turned out to be fairly built according to marine mechanic whom could only tell me it had a large aftermarket cam in it. yes i'm currently at 5200

If boat has a 1.5 ratio drive you have 17% slip. Your motor has been modified with getting 5200, so might just need a tuned prop and reduce some trim. Boat is 3650 lb with 8.4 beam

My 4000 lb Rinker 232 cuddy (8.6 beam 300 hp 454) 1.5 drive hits 60 mph at about 4825 or so.
