Default prop advice 88 formula 29 pc

I'm running my new used boat at wot @ 42mph at 4500 rpm with b1 drives running inward. Props are 14.'s x 16 four blades Appolos. Boat needs some bow lift and I believe missing about 5 mph from what others told me top speed should be. Has rebuilt 7.4 454s...any input appreciated. Needed to boat a few more weeks@ mike and lyuba

We could try some 14 5/8x15 Revolution 4 props.
I believe you liked them once before.

Hay.....someone else out there is trying to make pigs fly....haha. I dont know if this will help but on my Donzi 3250 SS with 454 mag mpi's and bravo 1's I run 21p mirage + 3 blades turning out and get 53 on gps with an average load at 5100 rpm. I always think about trying the props turning in but don't know if it is even worth it. The mirage + 3 blades carry the bow very well for such a heavy boat.
