Hey guys, relatively new to the site so this is my first post. Have been doing a lot of reading in different threads, lots of excellent information here!
Im in the process of putting a procharger on my 1995 253 convincor, looking for some prop advice for it.
Currently running the 454 Mag (carb'd) motor, bravo drive with a 4 blade 22P Bravo prop. This prop seems to be perfect for the boat right now, RPM's at WOT seem to hold right around 5000. Fastest Ive seen on GPS speed is 61 MPH.
Once the procharger is installed Im obviously going to have to re-prop it, just looking for some direction as to where to start? Should I stick with a 4 blade or should I go to a 3 blade? I still want to be able to cruise with the boat, but definately would like to see some more MPH up top. Procharger is claiming to run around the 500 HP mark once its installed (claimed obviously my motor has not been on a dyno)
I havnt been able to find much information regarding prop pitch versus HP/weight/slip sort of thing.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
