That is a VERY low slip number. I would play with props some and even though slip might increase, I think you could also increase the top end speed.

top speed was better with hydro's but the rev4 prop gets it up faster, slower planning speed, and the boat does not porpoise at all now at any speed. BBlades has the props now and is going to add some cup, so the speed will go up some without taking the rest away.

I run mine out, I tried them in but it did not handle as well, I tried every prop I could..mirage, bravo1, hydro's...then I tried the revolution 4's because BBlades said they worked well on baja's.. None of the other props even compare to these! The boat feels like it's 10' longer and 5k heavier. The ride is unbelievable! I was ready to sell it and go bigger to get a softer ride(which I did not want to do) until I tried the rev4. I'm not looking for the highest top end, in Lake Michigan it get quite rough, top speed doesnt do any good if its pounding you to death..I can outrun most when its rough because of the way it rides now. I wouldnt change a thing on it now!
