teague's merlin mild port heads w bigger valves etc, dart intakes, crane cames a few steps up 587 /610, roller lifters, stud girdls,,,

jonas, I have a 1997 35 with 525s and ext boxes, it is spinning a 28 bravo at 5000. It left the factory with a pair of 27 mach. I tryed a pair of 30 bravos saturday the boat had good mid range and great hole shot but the top rpm was 4700. I think you will find a pair of 28 bravos or 28 hydro will work fine. turning them in.

Jonas,
You need to spin the props out with the conventional hull. Try to find a prop shop that will demo the props to you.
