I had the maximus's labbed every way possible. Never
got the top end back to 78 and lost 4-5 mph at cruise.
Settled for stock maximus's as they perform better
than all the labbed versions I had. The fuel milage
increase is substantail. Cruises at 10 mph faster
in the 33-3800 rpm range and stays on plane at
lower speeds. The 32 bravo really is not the
best prop for this boat. I have wondered how it
would run with a 34 bravo,but I suspect getting on
plane would be difficult.

however it does take a lot of time to dial these props in. fortuneately i have had the opportunity to find the rite labing process to give desired results.
on the 35's i have set up i have seen the same top end within a 1/2 mph, and improvement in the cruise about 7 -8, varied on boat.
my local prop guy has done the right job with these wheels, as we tend NOT to lab them for ultimate top end which is where you loose the efficiency of the max.

It sounds like you are very familar with the 35 Fountains. I have a 2000 Classic, single step with 500EFI's. I have Bravo 1 4blade props, one set of 28's and one set of 30's. Niether are labbed. I am more interested in having the maximum mid range cruise than I am in having the ultimate top end. What is the best set up, and should they be labbed or not. I am on the West Coast, I assume that your are on the East Coast.
TIA
David

cruise over the extra 2 mph @ top end and 7-8 @
cruise. I rarely run @ WOT...so its a good trade off.

out of the box from mercury will most likely give a great cruise, as for the max's.
5 blades will allways be better then 4 for cruising.
i would suggest the 5 bld max 15 5/8 x 28 .
again labing doesnt all ways mean your going for top speed just curtailing that prop for that boat. and as each boat difers slightly, thats where you can find the efficiency of that prop for that boat.as per the owners desires.
in any case the max's are great out of the hole, turning, docking, cruising, and not bad on top.
we had a client with a new icbm with herrings 6 bld. he likes the spped however he wanted better cruise and more mid range snap. i suggested max's. when tried they did hit the rev limiters hard ta 96 and change, shy of the herrings 101, but the cruise picked up huge and the acceleration was incredible. not to mention they planed in about 3 and a 1/2 seconds over the herrings.
nothing beats knowing your desire to come to a correct end result.
if you want a great cruise then go for the max's.

maximus. Was banging the limiters with the 32's
only hitting 4900-5000 with the maximus. My ex
has 1:65 bravos, so you may have different results.
The X dim is very high on the EX also....but I
only have 496's.
