May be interested in your wheels. I have a 1983 46' Conv with 8V92s and 2.5" shafts.
Are the wheels Nibral and in good condition? I am in Maryland. How much for the wheels and shipping?
What size are your props? I run 28x32 3-blade wheels with 2 1/2" bore and would like to try 4-blades. I understand I should probably drop 1 inch of diameter.

You can keep the 28" diameter but should need to drop the pitch when going from 3 to 4 blades. I believe the 46' with 8v92's use a 28x30x2.5 4 blade wheel but don't quote me on that. Since you both have 2.5 shafts, I assume you both have 8v92 boats. If you both have 650hp 8v92's with the normal 1.5:1 gears, you should have a good mach. Talk to a good prop shop they should be able to give you more accurate info based on what you have now and what your performance is. I have both 3 and 4 blades for my 46. The 4 blades run a lot smother. Good luck
