I understand the SR site has the correct prop specs for your boat. I cant imagine haveing trouble getting on plane with the BIII with proper props. Were they changed sometime? I'm stern heavy with full water and the 5k gennie and I still get on plane easily. MM
I bought my Sea Ray 270 Sundancer brand new in 2001 with 7.4 MPI and Bravo III. It came with the 22 pitch SS props. I have no problem getting on plane with 100 gallons fuel, 28 gallons of water, 6 people, and full of provisions. I do not even have to touch the trim tabs. If just comes up on plane. If everything is OK on your boat, the 22 props should solve your problems.
Thanks for the reply
I have been told that the 1997 270 is a much heavier boat than those starting in 1998 and newer. Not sure how that affects my issue. Hopefully the 22p props will solve the issue, and that I can find a used set, since new are around $1000.

I believe the WOT for a 7.4 is a range of 4200-4600 rpm so the op is in the rpm range. The range probably is affected by weight, but over-revving is a bigger risk in my estimation . MM
