I have a 92 with 600 hp 620 tq @4800 I have labbed 28 bravo ones. I turn them 5400. You might want to try a 27 hydro motive quad 4. I liked hydro props spinning in better than bravos

Default 27 hydro's

In case you get interested in the 27 Hydromotive QIV's, I have a set labbed by Hydromotive I'm looking to sell.

Hydromotives are somewhat the favorite on the single and non stepped 35 Fountains. Before the kumbaya days of Fountain and Merc the Hydros went out the door on most boats.
