It had 28 pitch bravo 1's. I got a set of 30 pitch sl4 props from Ron Hill. Hill marine. I picked up ten mph at 3200 rpm, now 41 mph at 3200 but still not enough. Should be doing 50 or better. I measured my propshaft C/L, it is 3.5 inches below deadrise. A little high I think. You can see the props are pushing water above surface. The fountains I read are running 4.5 inches below deadrise with a similar stepped transom. I just picked up a couple 1 inch spacers and waiting for them to get dropped off. I brought it up to 5000 briefly, still had throttle left and wasn't trimmed out plus one tab wasn't coming up (solenoid). Any way she isn't grabbing enough water. I let you know what it does with 1 inch spacers. I want my cruise, that's where it will be running most of the time. Not to mention efficiency

Nope - the extra top end with shorties and 5 blades wasn't worth the cost and the other trade-offs for me! I'm happy with my 4 blades, Maximus 5 blades may give you a better bite if the 4 blades aren't doing the job for you.

28 Bravos sound small for the power I'd think you would be running 32's. I'm running 55 plus depending on the water with 30's on my 320- I'd think 60 would be a nice easy cruise on your 410. The 410 isn't much slower than the 390 is it? Thought it was heavier...

Pete,
got your text a couple weeks ago...just haven't gotten near the 10 yrs PB magazine library I have packed away and crazy busy otherwise.
I will get there eventually, and when I lay my hands on that issue it's all yours.
