As BBlades said "5 blade propellers will not wreck a drive "IF" the drive is rated properly. I love the five blade set up but not with over 725hp and a XR drive.

I have the Imco Extreme drive, it should be a little stronger than a stock Bravo XR...I'm fairly easy on it also, I don't like to abuse things,
especially if I have to pay for it ! At this point , I think my best bet is to try the 5 blade ..maybe the 30 pitch ?

Also the IMCO Extreme uses stock mercruiser XR parts (gears/shafts). Thier housings (upper/lower) are much stronger but the internal major parts are still the same.
Brett from BBLades can hook you up with everything you need regarding which five blade to run. He told me in the past he has put some five blades on Halletts and had some good advice.
