I ran a labed 24 B1 on my 288 but I have the older non stepped hull and a 502. I was running 69 @5200 - 5250 RPM at WOT. I touched 70 a few times but was into the trailer trim and playing with fire.

I thought I saw where some of the guys were running a 26 B1 with that setup? A labed 26 B1 would probably be a good fit. If you can get your hands on both, I would try them and see what feels best on the boat.

Anyone know what I should shoot for with 600HP on the older Hull? Not sure I can spin a 28 with that or not. Looking to be in the 55-5600RPM range WOT.

I had about 575 HP and ran a labbed 28 Bravo from B Blades. Turned it 5,300 give or take.

my 03 496 ho had a 24 on it. 26 on a mag seems like youd be leaving some rpms on the table imo...
