Default Need help choosing props

I need some help choosing props or at least a starting point. I have a 32ft Awesome offshore V hull with twin 468hp big blocks, bravo 1 drives with 1.5 gear ratios and the X dimension is around 7 inches. The props that I have are quicksilver, 3 blades 23p that I think are way too small due to the fact that when the the motors were stock at 365hp the WOT was at 6200rpms which is 1000 too high and the props had bad cavitation trying to get on plan. I have talked to some people and they think I should be running a bravo 1 four blade 26 or 28p does this sound right I have no idea?

I agree testing 28 Bravo 1's is a good starting point.
Give us a call if you are interested in using our test program.
