    Performance issue

    QBhoy Thank you! Looking into the props i found that the previous owner installed Signature Props from Hill Marine. They are a 4 blade set for the forward and aft props. But you have to go down in pitch for them to work properly. He did not do that. He stayed with 22 pitch that is the...

    Performance issue

    This is what someone on a Larson forum said: Original ex factory on mine were 22p. I’ve dropped to 4blade 21p front and 21p 3blade rear and it is now a different boat for hole shot So you may be on to something for sure. The previous owner gave us 2 other sets of props when we bought the...

    Thank you for your input. I will take any help and info i can get. From what I understand 3 blade props get higher top speed but are slower to plane. 4 blade will help to get on plane but you'll lose some top speed. I could be wrong on that though. I will investigate which props are ideal...

    Performance issue

    Anyone with a cabrio 274 that has a single 5.7 mercruiser 350 mag mpi. How long does it take you to get to plane? Mine takes about 30 ‐35 seconds with only 2 people on board which seems slow to me. Had 4 people onboard the other day and would not plane without sending people toward the bow in...
