Default 270 Fundeck - What is Factory Prop Size?

Greetings All:


I have a 1998 Eliminator 270 Fundeck w/ the 454 MAG MPI engine and Bravo 1.

The boat had a 5# boost procharger installed before I bought it. I am considering removing the procharger and in turn would replace the larger prop, that was installed along with procharger, with one of the "factory" size.

Could anyone tell me what OEM prop was on this boat?

Thanks for your response.

Oh com'on now, somebody knows the answer here!

I'm not going to have to call Eliminator and ask them am I?

My guess is the factory prop size would be the same as that for the 27' Daytona (with same year & engine)

I have a fundeck with a 502. The prop that I would recommend and the one that I use most is a 22 pitch 4 blade Mercury Bravo. Good all around prop that gets the boat on plane with a load of people plus can pull skiers, tubers, etc.

Thanks for your response, meow.

What kind of top speed and RPM are you turning with a 22p?

With the 22 it is around 63-64 which is right up against the rev limiter. I also have a 26 pitch prop for it and the best speed I every saw was 72. For me it seems that deck boats are functioned to taking family/friends and going slower enjoying the day.

Thanks,
