Default proping an 89 flat deck

The boat in an 89 TG with notch transom, is 575-600 hp enough power to spin 28 4 blades to 5000-5200 ?

that might be tuff one. Maybe a little heavy on pitch.

A 38 Flatdeck will be around 11k dry. It will depend on the hp/torque curve of the engines as to how to prop it.
I would say to try going up 2-3 inches in pitch to start. I doubt he would be able spin the 28 Bravos to 5000rpm.

Top gun will weigh around 9800-10,000 with light to no fuel, what drives?

That HP with TRS?? your looking at worked 25 Mirage plus or 24 Hydromotives spinning 54-5600 range, or a 24-26 Bravo around 5200 speed should be 74-77 ish depending on actual HP it has and conditions.

If Konrad boat with 600 HP a 26 Bravo1 will spin 5200@ 73 mph or close to it. or a 28 to 5000rpm at 71mph
