Thanks Rob

A thinned 29 pitch P5-x. I just so happen to have one that was labbed by Hering.

Chris you think a labbed 29 won"t be to big.Are you selling that prop?I really would like to try one.Do you think i will lose some speed up top or gain with a five blade.

If it gains quite a bit of rpm, throws a rooster and does not pick up much speed, then I would say you need to go an inch deeper with a spacer. A 5 Blade may also be the answer. I had the same thing on my 28 Pantera. I dropped an inch lower to about 4.5" below the bottom and the boat responded much better to trim. Slip went down about 5%. Picked up 2 mph on teh top end. The 5 blades were not out yet when I did this though and I never tried one.

Well the 28 bravo that was labbed that prop for some reason the more i trimed it it got faster but real lose and felt unstable.This 30bravo one the more i trim it it just keeps getting faster and throws a huge tail.And my slip numbers are 12- 13% across the board with the 30 so that might be the prop.

The 30 Bravo 1 numbers sound real good. With 12-13% slip your slip is just fine. If you need some more rpm, then contact BBlades. He should be able to tweak it without changing any of the handling characteristics.

Halls just got me over 5 mph from my Hydro 30 84.4@5100. told me 87+from a 28. Anyone have a big shaft 28 Hydro for sale.Or need a p5 27,Quad 28 small shaft 28 or bravo?
