Advice on props

Hello,
I have just finished rigging my Bernico F1 23" with twin Mercury Pro Max
300X but I have not got the faintest idea which props to put on.
I will not use the boat for racing or waterski racing so instead of raceprops
I was thinking of Bravo 1 28".Has anybody tried those props on a similar boat
already with those engines,is the pitch too high or too low?
thanks fo the advice
Regards
Stefan

I have twin 28 bravo1 with 300 promax on a bladerunner. They dont let the engine rev enough. I would guess you would need something like a 27 - so a worked 26.

Also - I am looking for 26's for my bladerunner, so if you buy the 26's and find you need 28's then we can arrange a swap deal! If you buy 28's and find you need 26's then there are two of us with 28's looking for 26's!!

It's a very small boat that sure it will throw a 28, does twin 300 ProMax even fit on

Thanks all for the thoughts and opinions on my prop issue.
I contacted Nico and he has some wheels available for testing.
I think I will be going that route before ordering any props.
@ Techteam what is the length and wheight of a Bladerunner?

I am not sure he knows.....

It is about 2 ton and 32 foot. But it is a cat of sorts, not a direct monohull..
