I would start with a 28 or 30 pitch 4 blade to get a base line.
You may also have good results with a 5 blade with the 2 inch shortie.
Good luck and keep us posted on the end result.

dominator nickerson blower carb,remove stock
one way stock ball valve @ fuel tank steady 7
lbs @ W.O.T. Note: Blew my 1st engine up
with only a couple hrs on it because of the one
way ball valve fitting at the tank baja puts in at

that again.

600hp/26OL/stock drive height spins a non-labbed 28 comfortably to 5200+ rpm. Stock 30 was too much prop.
With 727hp, I'd start with a stock 30 pitch B1 and take it from there.

If you want to try the 5 blade new hybrid from Hydromotive send me a PM and I can set you up with a distributor who should be able to shave some $$$$$ off. The new hybrid is supposed to have lift characteristics similar to a Bravo. They claim they could get me down to around 10% slip. I am running around 575HP in my 25OL with stock drive setup. Slip numbers sound optimistic. I may pull the trigger and buy yet another prop soon but haven't decided if I will yet. If you are shopping and try it out would love to hear how one of the 5 blades works on a high power 25OL. Good Luck

with the shortie drive you need bow lift, try the 30b1, I have 670hp and hit 6000rpm with a 26b1. if its back on the water this summer I am going to a 30lab or 28lab. 5 blades handle better but are slower and harder on the drive. if you try a hydro 5 blade make sure its the px5 and not the p5
