Brett,
Have done some testing with a number of different 5 blade sets and have a chit load of data. What kind of info would you like to see?
Please do not think I just some hoser here, I want a good set of props for this boat and realize real good chit comes at a price.

MC,
The 38 hull in a staggered configuration is faster than the side by side 35 with the same power. My goal here is to run a solid number with killer handling and not be F'n the chit out of things just to get the boat on plane. Thanks for the input here, keep things coming, this could be a learning deal for many of us here if the prop wizards get into this.

We can cover much more ground without me typing.

We have had good success with our P-5 X's on the 35 Fountains. The labbed Maximus props end up close to our stock P-5 X's. We have a 1 year warranty, and can ship out of stock at prices lower than labbed 5 blades. Also, labbed props generally have no warranty. With our 30 day return & exchange program, and props available in every inch of pitch, you can't lose.

Brett aka BBlades and Thom aka Hydromotive thank you both for the responses here. I have data with Merc props as well as Hydromotives. Both brands have their plus and minus traits on this hull.
So where would we go from here? I am looking for a set of real sweet all around props, all around being the key here, so how do I get there?
Let me throw this out there, I'm looking for a set of props that will run a decent number, 90 in this case is not a big reach for this set up, a solid running attitude, able to come on plane without a whole lot of F'n around, boat has a very high X and I do not expect it will come up like a Sea Ray bow rider, but should not take a country mile to get it there. If I am way out of it here feel free to tell me. Speak to me, please and thank you!

Labbed Maximus by BBlades have been the best all around prop on every stepped hull, high X Fountain I've run them on, from 32-47'. Some props may have been faster (but not usually), but none have planned, cruised, and handled nearly as well as the Maximus. Let Brett set up a pair for you. He knows the recipe for the best all around prop for your boat.
