1995 22' prop trials
 

The boat came witha 27 4 blade hydromotive I was told I could get more speed by switching to Merc and I was also close to rev limiter. So I tried a 4 blade mer 30. I picked up 2 mph, better handling but was only turning 5000 RPMs. Then I was told to try a three blade becuase of the stock low x dim. I ran a 25 mirage plus today and was only 1 mph slower than the merc 4 blade 30 and hitting the rev limiter. I'm trying to find a 27 or 28 merc 3blade to try.

Call Me I have 3 blades Kenny 407-402-0300

Once I figure out what I need I will give you a call. Do you have any labs?

No but I was just boating with Mike from Halls Propeller Its no problem to get them labed I just gave him mine

Hmmm. Food for thought.

So anyway, you guys with stock X dims if your running a 4 blade I strongly suggest you try a 3 blade. The handling difference is night and day. My boat actually sits in the water real nice with the three blade!

Talk to Mike At Hall Propeller. He knows props and he knows and races Velocity.

Do you have a number for Mike?

Let me know how your prop trials end up.
I too, am currently trying to find the right prop set up.
I currently run a labbed 26 bravo, but am bouncing off the rev limiter. I tried a 25 mirage and lost 2 mph. I tried a non labbed 28 bravo and gained 3 mph over my labbed 26. I am curious as to how the 27 or 28 mirage runs. I am going to be trying out a labbed 30 bravo withing the next few weeks. I am hoping it will spin around the same rpm as the non labbed 28?

Max: What boat do you have?
Do you know your x dim?
What power do you have?
What speeds are you coming up with?
And at what RPMS?

Sorry for the million ?'s.

I was bouncing off the rev with the 25 mirage, and am dang close to bouncing off the rev with the 27 hyrdomotive 4 blade. My boat handles much better with the three blade. Does yours?

I have a 1995 velocity 220.
I have a 454 with some minor motor work, exhaust, carb, intake, etc. I have the stock x dimension from the factory.
With the 26 labbed bravo, I am hitting the rev limiter up in the 5's. The 25 mirage, revved even higher than my bravo 26, so it didn't work at all. I ran a non labbed 28 bravo and was spinning 4800rpms and getting up into the 70's. I will probably stick with the 28 for the rest of the year, since I am having motor work done this winter.
I am going to have heads set up by Jim Valeyko, a new cam, and a few other things. Hoping to see right around 500hp. I am from LaPorte, just south of New Buffalo. I run mostly with Wette Vette and a few others on this board. We will going to Hardy in a few weeks for the party. If you are going to be there, look me up.
