Best prop for 29 World Class?
#8
OK, here are some prop updates.
Well the boat has a HP 500 EFI and standared merc 1.5drive. There was a 29 pitch 4 blade prop on it, No marking on it as far as manufacture. The boat planed good but would ventalate a bit and rev, mid range was OK, at 4200 RPM, the boat was 62 on GPS. I felt like there was much more throttle left and the boat was just cruising, and was very stable trimmed out.
I paid a fortune for a 28 labbed Merc Bravo 1, 4 blade. and tried it out today. I'm not sure I like it.
Boat planned about the same as the other prop, the mid range with this prop was monster, The rpms, jump up to 5200 real quick if i nail it and the boat was only going 50mph,,, if I ease into it and build slowly the baot was around 62 at 4600 but started to dance trimmed out which it would not do with the other prop, This prop defenetly has a fuller blade. Seems like I need more prop in this style. do htey make a 29 or 30?
Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated.
