The one i am talking about has dimples like a golf ball, the air speeds up i guess. They work, on my 509 bbc i went from a 1 inch wood spacer to the New spacer i am talking about and picked up 15hp at the same rpm. Crazy

If you boat on southern lake michigan, I have a set of props I ran on my 290 around 550 each side. They are lobbed 28s with a little cup, done at mercury racing. Sitting on shelf. You could try. Be careful that hull doesn't like 73+. It will scare the crap out of you. I had hydraulic steering and larger tabs,didn't do a dam thing to settle her down over 75. Good luck

Not sure exact speed, it would bury the speedo, to be honest hull scared me,didn't spend alot of time there . 😂 but you are right on the money with your description of mid-range. The mid punch on that boat was ridiculous, I miss that.
