Hey Storm,

Well, overall I like the 4 blade props better than 3 blade for sure.
All in there stock form I liked the feel of the Rev 4 best, but I would need a 27p.
Since I had BBlades modify my 28p B1, the prop works great in all conditions and the speed is just as good as a stock 3 blade.
My newly labbed 27p M+ pushes the boat real fast and I'll use it in the Fall when I stay in the river on calm water.

Sounds like a LOT of slip going on there.


I might have to up the ante of my boat! :D

I think I'm getting bored of my power. I'm cruising around at 4000+ rpms all the time.

Is this the same guy that said that going over 80mph in a 24' Super was just for bragging rights?

Are you saying you're going for more power in your 24' Super or buying a bigger and faster boat???

Dave, I've been running with the 502Mag in my boat for 3 seasons now. I have just about everything to convert it to a 500HP. It's just that she is just running too well to mess with...:cool:

True, but I would like to be running 65 MPH at a much lower RPM. I'm not as concerned about top end.

I don't really want to spend any more $$ on my boat. Hmmmm, I'm seeing more used Y2Ks on the market......:cool-smiley-027:

Where are you guys seeing all of these Y2Ks for sale?
The same 3 are still here on OSO. 2 of those are out of my league and the other has been painted and left in the water.
