Prop Question

[CARRERA]

I have a 28ft Carrera Raptor open-bow V-Hull with the Bravo-1, 496Ho . I have to replace my prop due to damage (rock damage). What would be the best and or right prop to go with?

There are lots of different 28' Open bow boats. Need more info on what type.

What hull?
I would guess a 24p 4 blade.

What prop were you running, and were you happy with it? Did it put you in the proper rpm range?
I would check with the manufacturer, and see what they reccomend. It seems that most boats with the 496HO are running Bravo One 24P, but Shockwave for example uses a Revolution 4.

rev 4 gives more bow lift bravo gives more stern lift.I have a 21 ft eliminator just went to rev4 21p(350 mag) picked up 2-3 more mph vs my 3 blade 21p
rev series are often overlooked IMO

So a 28' Bayliner open bow w/ an open bow and a 496HO... :messedup:
Or maybe an eliminator 28' eagle open bow, or....
I'd recomend something in the 30" chopper range for the bayliner (need the bow lift and keeping the rpm's down saves gas :idea: :supp: :sqeyes:
For something along the lines of the eliminator i'd go w/ what you had before. Or at least start there and talk to a reputable prop shop. Kevin @ R&R in Vegas is the man as far as i'm concerned.
