Prop Problems

[JstChiln]

I have a 21' Bayliner with a 350 mag. mpi I am currently running a 21p 3 blade alum. POS propeller. It does allright for what it is but the rpms are about 200 too high and the top end sucks. I need something new thought about a 3 blade SS stiletto with a 23p. or maby a 4 blade. I just don't know. Main uses for boat are boarding, tubing, and cruizing. Top end is between 53 and 58 mph with neutral to just a little up trim depends on lake cond.

Aluminum props flex and pitch is actually reduced at higher rpms. You should try a 21 Mirage Plus or maybe a 21 Rev 4.

I was actually looking at the rev 4. I just wanted a second opinion, at almoste 700 bucks it's a pretty expensive guess. Thank you.

Call Brett at BBlades and see if he has some demo props for you to try.

your boat would probably like an Enertia or a Ballistic. most likely in a 21 pitch. going from aluminum to SS in the same pitch will drop your RPM's some. also, going to a 23P will kill your holeshot for pulling and may bring your RPM more than the 200 you're looking for.

You should test the 21 and 19 Revolution 4 props. I think you will love the 19. It will increase performance across the board. If you are still dialing in the boat, call us and we'll get one out to you.

What kind of $$$$$$ are we talking? Can you shoot me a rough estimate on a 19 and a 21 rev 4 to fit an alpha 1 Gen 2 drive.

Test props are $25 for a 15 day trial with no strings attached.

new Revolution 4 props are $485-$525 depending on the hub kit.

(They list at $650)
