Where are the shims at, closer to the hull or closer to the prop side and how did you know they were in backwards? I pretty good at figuring stuff out but you have me at a loss right now. I am think what you are saying is this will allow the out drive to be in a more negative trim position. Meaning tucked in more, right?

I think I got the Friday version of the HO's that only put out like 390HP, I see guys talking about 80-81GPS on the 300 mine 74-76GPS speedo doesn't really seem to matter on load. 28p bravo 1's 4950-5000RPM fully trimed out, only seems to change a little when I pull trim back to like 5 or 4. No tabs, maybe that is what I am missing.
I am thinking he is going to close to 78-80 with the 500's.

something does not sound right,,496HOs should be spinning 30 Bravos at 5000 to 5050 rpms..

Thanks, have check out those shims, I will have to try less trim, if i can ever get the boat out (weather) I do know a boat that has some 30's on it now that I can try, I think it just showed up yesterday. Of course I only live about 45 min from Brent at BB blades.
Yes he was talking about Revenge's with 496HO's spinning 30's.
And yes I agree, I love the ride on my 300.

Thanks, that is what I thought just wanted to be sure. The previous owner of my boat had 30s and it went a touch faster but acceleration suffered he said and getting on plane was a mess.
I have labbed 28s from Mercury and a spare set labbed by BBlades which I haven't tried yet.
