You might try a set of 4 blade 34 or 36 non labbed bravos, they are very stable on my gladiator at 110, they do cavitate some on hole shot but with a little throttle time you will keep it to a minium, i also run 29.5 6 blade herrings they are a great all around prop they do tend to feel loose at 110 but not unstable

I know bravos are a good prop but I dont want to fight to get the boat on plane.

4 blades won't be a fight, just not as effortless as the 6 bladed props.

My six bladed Herings get the boat on plane like a ski boat. No tabs, just go. The 4 blades are too much work where I boat .

I think that Phil dropped the X dimension slightly for 04 and up.

I have some 5 blade herrings in the works soon to be mine. I think its going to be fast i will keep everyone updated. I have put some more seat time in the boat and found that the boat like a little tab to stabilize the ass but it doesnt slow it down at all. 107.4 and then it hits a brick wall. I think the motors are running out of steam at 5700 so I am going up to 31 pitch 5 blade herring which sould be just right if my theory is correct. Let you guys know as soon as I get them on the boat 110 here i come.
