hey guys i thought id see what you guys are running with what setups and since my boat is all stock 272 with 502mpi with too much prop just makes sense to add power than change props

so post your gps speed with either setup or HP number and prop

thanks matt

I just sold my 01 272 Boss w/496HO. I ran a 22P Bravo 1 and was seeing 66-67 max and took a while to get there. I Had a 23P Mirage + but never ran it on the boat before i sold boat. Was hoping that would get me closer to 70.

I've only been able to see 61 mph GPS, in my 270. It has a great running 502, think I need to experiment more with some props. Got some big plans for it this winter, really want to see 75-80mph

Did you say it makes more sense to add power than change props? Must have a fat wallet bro.......

Mine is basically stock, just a few tweaks and add ons. Gil's, ECM reflash, add timing, shelled K&N, spinning Mirage + 23 with Bblades Baja reciepe (labbed).

She'll run 68 MPH anytime, a tick or two better in prime conditions.

What wheel are you spinning now at what speed/RPM?

no fat wallet just making a joke hence the lol still good to know what guys are running with what setups for future plans

as for mine not sure just bought her and was cold to be doing top end trim runs but shes turning a bravo 4 blade
26p the previous guy claimed 4800@62-63mph(gps) but he also included the stock mirage 23p so we will see in the spring

heres my plan this year no mods since just purchased the boat so no $$$ just a K&N filter, try both props in the spring and go from there

next winter might do cam,ecu tune,springs, porting of throttle body,intake and heads than the 4 blade 26p should be good

theres a guy locally running a 502mpi with K&N, cam,tune with that prop and says he loves it


keep the setups coming guys

i have a 98 272 that has been in pieces since 10/10 putting a fresh 500 efi raising the X a couple of inches i have 3 different props hoping to see lower 70's with it when done

DRP

Please let us know how the higher X works out. I have mostly heard that even though the 272 has such a low X, it needs to be that way to carry the bow.

my 375 hp Mag motor pushes her to 61 with a full tank of gas on gps, right at 4800rpm.
