Recently bought a '95 29' Scarab w/502 mpi. Not sure what drive ratio is, assuming 1.5. Spinning a Bravo 1 24P 4 Blade at 4500 RPM. Can squeeze 58 on gps with myself and my two little guys in the boat. I was reading some past forums and some guys are claiming low 60's. Any suggestions on props or power adders to get more top speed? Preferably, don't want to go into the motor.
Would appricate any suggestions.
Thanks!

My 94 29' Scarab with stock twin 350 mags does the same but I over rev, I see 5500 rpm. I think I need more prop, I have 14 1/2" by 21.. It will even over rev with 4 guys loaded.. Could the props be spinning to fast and cause cavation ?

You should be running 23s on your boat. They were the stock prop from the factory. You could also run labbed 25s and pick up 1-2 mph.
