2000 26ft Prowler
 

A buddy of mine has the 26 prowler and is trying to see if he has the right prop, or if there is a better one for his boat. Its a 502 mag mpi all stock with 1.5 bravo 1. He has a 24p bravo 1 on there now, and he said is kind of a dog to get up on plane. What are you guys running on these to get good results? Does the boat respond better to a 4 blade or 3 blade?

Do a search. This was JUST discussed.

I found it for you:

link no good, but I found my old thread that I posted before he got motor running right. Couldn't find it before

Believe it or not a 22" is what mine came with, the boats a pooch with a 415, mine would only run "low" 60's. I swaped that out for a 525 and was in the low 70's, that boat needs a lot of HP.

My '99 Prolwer was stock when I bought it and the motor was rough. HGs changed and ARP bolts were not torqued properly. Water in the oil, compression test, etc. lead me to upgrade. Only got 56 GPS out of it with K planes and B1 22P. Upgraded motor with Dart Pro1 aluminum heads, IMCO aluminum exhaust and computer upgrade. Got 63 GPS out of it with B1 24P. Just built a 540 Stroker for it. Am putting boat back together now but anticipate being in the 70s with a B1 26P.

She is a pig to get out of the water if you don't have at least 500HP.

Yea, he is thinking of dropping down, and was curious if a 3 or 4 blade is better for that hull. He had it out on Sunday he said, and he got 4900 out of the 24p bravo 1, which on a stock 502 I would say that is fine for rpm. I have no idea how it was trimmed as i wasn't there, and he didn't GPS the speed it was at. He just said it is a dog out of the hole. If his tach is reading 200rpms high then he could drop to a 22p to get out of the hole better, better mid range acceleration, and spin up to about 5000.
