This is a copy my post in the Formula section
Well, I got a chance to run the boat today with the new props.
I still have some dialing to do but the preliminary report is:
99 382 with 1.5 Bravo Performance drives on Stelings boxes 500EFI with head work, bumped up cams and ECU mods ? 550ish HP (no dyno). Light load, 1/2 tank fuel
Lake Michigan, Calm
Water Temp 47
Air Temp 71
14 7/8 x 28 pitch labbed Bravo 1s 3500 RPM 45 mph
15 1/4 x 28 pitch labbed Maximus 3500 RPM 54 mph
Top Speed GPS:
Bravos 76 mph @ 5500 rpm
Maximus 76.8 mph @ 5000 rpm
I'm in debate over whether to sell these and drop to 27 pitch, but I really like the cruise speed and in the real world, WOT is a rare occurrence

Max may be able to be worked even more to pull more rpm.
26 Max is another option.
I prefere the, see what can be done to the 28 Max.

You can probably get a couple hundred RPM out of the Maximus props as Brett has stated but if you can trade them for a smaller pitch you may want to consider it.
