Twin 5.0L MPI
I have a new to me Sundancer 280 which seems to be running slower and at higher RPM that the test boat on boat test.com

The prop pitch on the Bravo 3 drives is 20.

I'm not sure of the drive ratios yet.

The boat has no problem getting to 5200RPM and am wondering what the most common pitch is for this set up. 20 to me seems low and I would have thought the props would have been 24's.

My main use for the boat is going to be cruising in the protected waters of the Pacific North West.

Does anyone else have this boat/set-up and what pitch are you running?

Does anyone have experience with the Solas props? Opinions?

Thank you in advance for any insight/information you could provide.
 
Got the same boat, and mine came with 24's. With a light load at sea level I'm just shy of 5000 rpm's and doing about 47mph
