Good luck with your initial seatrial. Tell us how it goes. I would begin with(if I had a choice) 26" Bravo l's, to get an idea of the pitch you'll need. When you decide what props your using, then send them out to be labbed. We put together 3 or 4 basic 25 center-consoles that did low 90's with the same power. One being Enrique Iglesias's boat. Your boat is capable of the same.

sea trial (powerplay25 and ed)
i finally put the boat in the water today. those 300x's really got some hp. i couldnt push the boat because i was breaking in the new lower units. but i was cruising in the 60's. the 26 bravo's worked fine. weekend i will put it in the water and let you know what its dailed in too. i will post some pics too.

Sounds like you are getting some good speed out of it. Are you spinning your props in or out?

I AM SPINNING THEM OUT FOR RIGHT NOW. THAT WAS MY SECOUND TIME OUT IN THE BOAT.THE MOTORS ARE WORKING GREAT AND THE LOWER UNITS(1.62) WERE JUST REBUILT WITH NEW INTERNAL PARTS. ITS VERY SUPRISING TO SEE HOW GREAT THESE BOAT RUN WITH THE PROPSHAFT LINE UP EVEN WITH THE BOTTOM OF THE STERN. POWERPLAY25 ,HOW MUCH MILES DID U GAIN WITH THE PROPS SPINNING INWARDS? I AM THINKING ABOUT SENDING A PAIR OF 26 BRAVO 1"S TO GET LABBED. THANKS YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP GUYS.

Had a major issue with one of my engines late in the season. The good news is I got a new powerhead out of it. At the time I got the new powerhead I swapped my lowers for inward rotation. I only made one run with the boat before putting it away for the winter. I can definately tell there is more speed with the rotation change, but did not want to run the motor too hard as I have to get some hours on it first.
I'm also running 26" Bravo I's. Now that the props are spinning inward I am getting much more stern lift with these props. Actually too much. My next step is a pair of choppers which will suck the stern down and lift the bow.
