Prop sice for 29ft scarab with 600hp??
Hey Guys.
I am new on OSO. Nice forum by the way.
I have a 29ft Scarab, with a 555cui 600hp as a replacement for my old HP500.
What will the top speed be for a boat with that engine?
I cant seem to clock more than 55mph with a 25in prop
at 5000rpm.
What sice prop do i need??
Regards.

The engine was dynode 597hp at 5200rpm and 654lb-ft trq. I have the dyno sheet, and the engine was build specially for my boat, with a Comp Cam 11-451-8 marine cam and FAST EFI, and fresh water cooling..
The gear ratio I was told is 1,50, and i runs with a 25in mirage plus prop on a Bravo x with imco nosecone.
The engine runs flawless, but no topspeed.

67 mph gps with a mirage plus 25p at 5000 rpmand with a bravo 1 26 lab i get 69mph at 5050 rpm all this # with std bravo 1 drive. With 600hp you should get arond 72 mph.
Now the engine is upgrade at arond 650-700 hp and i get 78 mph gps with same 26p lab 4 blade prop at 5500 rpm.

Have you tried dropping to a 23 to see how high you can spin that?

What do you mean when you say set-up and rigging issues??
Sorry if it is a stupid question, but i am pretty new at performance boating...:-). No i haven't tried a 23" cause the 25"
worked well with my hp500.
Can it have anything to do with the imco nosecone i have welded on my lower drive.

The dynosheet says 594,1 hp at 5200rpm and 653lb-ft trq.
And yes a wonder why it is slower with 600hp than with 500hp...
Trust i am loosing my mind...
