Just bought this boat and the prop has seen better days. Looking for a new prop and need size recommendations. I want top end/cruising speed more than holeshot speed. What would you fellas recommend?

I am in Havasu and have Bravo 1 24 pitch in awesome condition for $450.00 if you're interested.

This is the part number. Last I checked Jacos had best new price. But that was a few years ago.

Seems like that is pretty much 90% of the time that is the universal prop for the 496HO.
That's what I run majority of the time on my 496HO 26'. I have a few others.

Congrats.... I loved my '06 496HO Wiz for 5 years and sold her 2 winters ago to a guy in Kona, HI.... wish I could recall prop specs. All ocean fun so top end and prop not much of consideration. They're great boats ... took rides to Catalina like a champ. Enjoy.... nice color scheme. PM me what ya paid cause I'm always curious what they bring. I will say this, I had entire outdrive stolen and my tech wasn't sure which Bravo I had and he had to go through a couple to reduce cavatation so pitch did matter to get it to bite as before.
