Hey fellas! Im running 3 blade 26p on my b-3. Its my first season with my new boat. Its a mariah shabah 180 230 hrs, 5.7l 350 mag ( boat is 98' motor is 95')
My wot rpm can very quickly climb to 5000, this is my second boat in 2 yrs so im still learning about inboards. It has smart tabs so she wont porpis and, and with that big b-3 there is little trimming involved to bring the bow up and from a standing start she rockets to top speed.
B-3 props are expensive so id like the advice from the pro's, i know every boat is different, etc etc but if i went up to a 27p 3 blade would that bring my rpm down just enough to hit that ideal 4400-4800 mark?
Thanks
Cory
