Hey guys I recently acquired a 1991 pirata needed a bunch of work etc. Installed reman 454 gen V added Edelbrock marine intake manifold . TBI conversion from performance fuel Injection and did a little port matching. also reman trans rudder from Discount inboard marine, fresh air exhaust. plus several other items. I have 2 props both Acme 3 blade 13/13 and 4 blade 14/12. fuel economy and performance with 3 blade 13/13 sucks. prop slips horribly. with 4 blade 14/12 excellent fuel economy and performance, untill reaching speed close to 40 mph . end up with top speed of 40 mph. with engine speed of 4400.what other wise 24 mph 2200 rpm with good accell. with 3 blade 13 inch 24 mph over 3000 rpm s accell not good. what are you guys seeing with your boats.
