im mid swap on my I/O 1991 v20
taking a dead 4.3l out and swapping in a 350mag mpi motor (300hp) with a matching bravo 1 leg im wondering what kind of top speed ill get and what pitch prop would be appropriate? Im going to add trim tabs too, any other thoughts? |

sounds like a good swap, I'd suggest starting with a 23P Mirage, that should put you in the low 60's. That engine is rated to turn 4800-5000, you may need to step back to a 21P depending on how its loaded. Trim tabs are a must

That engine is sensitive to propping, just a bit to much pitch and it will bog down. Put one in the SEARAY I did years back, and it was a DOG, only topped out at 4200 RPM's and about 30 MPH. Had the prop repitched from a 17 to a 16 and it jumped up to 4800 RPM's, and topped out at almost 40MPH. It should move right along in the water though.

GarageNC has one with a similar powerplant that is peppy so I've heard..
It should go fast enough, I will guess mid-50's. Welcome aboard BTW..

Thanks for the welcoming replies
Been a long time lurker didn't realize that was my first post! I've been looking at Bennett hydraulic tabs ( I was told they are one of the best) Any idea on what size? I'll have to get some Picts ups Can't seem to do it on my phone |

got the boat wet today,
after a few runs her best speed was 42 knots (gps) with a 19p turning at 4800/bravo leg 1.5;1 wondering if an 18p or a smalled diameter 19p would get it up to 5000rpm |
