i need help on props. so many choices making my head spin. i have 240 hallett open bow with the old 454 merc mag mpi. 385hp. boat came with 28p way too tall scrapped those for a set of 26p 4600rpm @59mph not too bad but id like to be as close to 5000rpm as i can. borrowed a set of 24p labbed props this weekend out in parker hit 5100rpm boucing off the limiter @54mph. those sets are both 3x3. now the confusion is to go 3x4 or 4x4? will going to a 4x4 24p get me down to 4900rpm or what is my next step? i dont need to run wide open all the time most of my cruising is 25-30mph with the whole family with occasional burst to 50mph to get around a roll bar boat so i dont launch the wife out of the bow on a 6ft wake.
