got a 253 with a 454 mag? what prop ya spinning?

to all 253 owners with 454 mags... what prop are you spinning? what are the performance results and the tendencies? speed? rpms? hole shot? cruising rpms etc? thank you all in advance for your responses...
Happy boating to all!!!
 
Ive got a 253 with a 502 mag, I run a 24 Bravo 1 and pull about 4800 rpms at 66mph gps. The 4 blade handles much better then the mirage 25 pitch 3 blade IMO, planes much better, more stable and less porpoise. I think with a little prop work I could see 68. A 22 Bravo 1 may be a good place to start. I also ran a hydromotive 23 pitch 4 blade it worked good but not as well as the B1, that prop pulled 5000-5100 at the same speed.
