Volvo Penta D/P Props

[jmedwid]

I have a 23' Regal with a newly rebuilt 350 that puts out over 400hp, and 430lbs of torque. The boat jumps right out of the water with the factory props and tops out at 55mph. I would like to give some of the initial get-go for more top end speed. I have been told that F7 props would be a good start. Does anybody agree or disagree?

I simplify all prop problems.
I go to my local prop shop guy. Always has spares to loan . 2 or 3 at most changes. Done. I only buy the prop I like best.

Works for me.

I have F6 props on my boat in my signature. Is that what you have now? What is your WOT RPM?
