Hello,
I have a 24 banana boat ( similar to a superboat) I have two 280 efi motors and am trying to figure out how to prop the boat. Any advice will be helpful. Also how fast do you think this setup should be? the boat currently has a set of 23 pitch mirages and does mid 70's but I am still about 1000 RPM short , but the motors need to be mounted higher ( theyre currently as deep in as they will go )

get the motors where they are supposed to be first and see what ya got. No sense in adding other variables when guessing with something as expensive as props.
might try borrowing before you buy. If you know anyone in your area and can swap props for a pass or two, that is the best way to find something right for your boat (once you have a ball park). I have a garage full of props i bought before i figured this one out.
