I have a set of 24's 4 bladers too but have never put them on because I seem to run right about 5100-5200 with the 26's, so I think I am propped right.

I might throw them on this year though just to be easier on the drives when I have a boat full.

I'm about with Seaford. 454's with 250 Blowers not dynoed, guessing around 550-570HP a side. Low to mid 70's at about 5100rpm.

5050's boat runs great. Used to be scary until he put full hydraulic steering on it!

that is way low you need 24"'s

Sea-Dated

My Cafe' with 500's in fresh water best has been 69.8 on GPS. Was told it would do 72 in salt but never tried it.
