Just curious, I have spent a lot of time on boating furums reading about pitch and find it interesting how similar it is to gearing on a car or truck. I dont't think I am properly dialed in on my boat and am always trying to learn.
It is because I am going down from 680 HP to 500 HP.

The prop was a 32. Very slow out of the hole but very fast on top end and great acceleration in the mid range.

The owner of A/T is a friend of mine and I spoke with him about the boat. He said to run a 24 Bravo 1 for optimum performance. I have spoken with a few other owners that have tried the 26 and they were happy. I have the 24 already but since I have this extra 32 in prestine condition I hoped to trade her up and have both. From what I have read and discussed I really want to try get the 26 labbed in turn should get the overall performance of the 24 with a few extra MPH on the top end.... Either way I am very excited.
