Default Boat nearly ready, need props
I have a 36 monohull. She was fitted with twin V8 Evinrudes & weighed about 7000 pounds with no fuel. I have almost finished the installation of twin 496HO's with Bravo 1.36 drives.

I was running 4 blade Mach 24 props.

Any suggestions on what props I should be trying?

You went from outboards to I/O, correct?

Why did you go with 1.36 ratio outdrives?

Why 1.36? Good question.

Its what was available and I was told that the lower the ratio, the less likely to break.
