I am looking for a good prop for a checkmate 242 convincor,it has a stock 454 carbed engine.i am looking for something that gets on plane fast,good handling,and top speed.i have a Mach stern driver,which does good,is there anything better?

got a 1998 25 convinsor I run a 24 pitch bravo good cruise speed and top end is respectable I also have 330 carb motor

Depending on your numbers a labbed 24 or 26 bravo 1 would suit your needs

Cool,thanks guys.i assume a bravo1 24 would get on plane quicker?and the 26 more up top?thanks

A 23" rev 4 also. My 251 likes the bow lift from that prop more than the bravo props.

Trx250r88 this is not necessarily true,for top end the 24p may get you to your lower limit of max rpm, in this scenario switching to a 26p would drop rpm another 300-400 thus taking you out of peak power range and slowing you down.

Do you guys recommend a 4 blade in one of these size's over a 3? Also should I go with a right hand or left hand?single, Bravo 1 drive.what is normally used on that app. Thanks

On my 251, a mirage 3 blade was1mph faster wot, but the 4 blade was much better out of the hole, doesn't porpoise as bad & doesn't blow as easily as the three blade. Makes it feel like a completely different boat

As miller high life said, 4 blade will have better hole shot, better handling, just a touch slower top end. you will want a right hand rotation, this counters the engines rotational torque on the hull.

We need to know what gps speed, rpms and prop you are running now to help pick the next prop

I have a 4 blade Mach stearn driver,not sure of pitch.i would much rather have better handling,and hole shot,over top speed.i don't have anything to compare the current Mach prop too.i am done with the boat till spring, than I will have to check speed,rpm a little closer.thanks
