26 Outlaw 496 mag ho prop questions
Hello,
I just bought a 09 26 OL. So this has a bravo 1 x drive and came with a bravo 28p prop on the boat and also had a spare 28p sitting in the cuddly. had it out yesterday for the first time. It appears this is not propped correctly. Full tank of fuel and 4 adults on board.. Seems sluggish getting on plane. Once on plane and trimmed up it cruises pretty well. But at wot it will over rev. I was seeing 56-57 mph on gps at like 5200-5300 and I would get an alarm. I should be at around 5000 max correct? Why would someone want a prop like this. I would expect it to under rev with a prop this aggressive. Any help would be great. I believe I should be mid 60’s with a little lighter load than I had thanks in advance.

Something doesn’t add up. Run your numbers through a slip calculator. Think it will be way high.
Turning a 28 pitch 5200 should be close to 70 with a 1.5 ratio drive.
