Default 33 and 37 owners opinions wanted

Anyone tried maximus 5 blades? Wondering how they would work with our step hull design. My boats currently got some labbed 32 4 blades and the previous owner ses it sometimes would run up into the limiters. I was thinking labbed 32 5 blades might work just dandy.

Have run the P5X and Maximus with very good success, just a matter of dialing it in. Both good props just need to see which one your boat likes. Call Brett at BBlades he has my file.

Keep an eye on your slip numbers. 5-blades with too little slip = busted Bravos.

I guess I was thinking since guys are running these on 380 Pq avengers with the same power, the 33 a/t is quite a bit lighter they would work great for me.

Wish it was summer so I didn't have to do my boating mentally and/or on oso LOL
