33 and 37 owners opinions wanted
 

Anyone tried maximus 5 blades? Wondering how they would work with our step hull design. My boats currently got some labbed 32 4 blades and the previous owner ses it sometimes would run up into the limiters. I was thinking labbed 32 5 blades might work just dandy.

Have run the P5X and Maximus with very good success, just a matter of dialing it in. Both good props just need to see which one your boat likes. Call Brett at BBlades he has my file.

Too large.

Yup agreed will be more like a 29 in 5 blade.

Keep an eye on your slip numbers. 5-blades with too little slip = busted Bravos.

And take the diameter down 1/2"

Ive got a couple sets of Bravo 1's 32pitch standard and labbed from mercury if you wanna try?

I guess I was thinking since guys are running these on 380 Pq avengers with the same power, the 33 a/t is quite a bit lighter they would work great for me.

Wish it was summer so I didn't have to do my boating mentally and/or on oso LOL

I'll just bring the damn boat down, with some beer, and will try everything you got DAD.

Sounds Like a Plan! Lol

I run 15 1/4 X 28 labbed maximus. I have a set of labbed 30 maximus for spares and there a bit too big especially in fresh/brackish water where I run the majority of the time.I've seen 86.3 with the 28s and cruise 61-62 at 4000. Boat planes real smooth with the 28s and they carry the bow up making the boat handle great. The 30s have a 3-4 mph better cruise but chatter getting on plane and Bravos don't like that. I tried a set of 15 1/8 30s that had some pitch taken out and the boat ran real flat and lazy so be careful taking too much diameter out. I think the Hydromotive P5Xs work as good or better than the Maximus from what I saw on Macklins boat. Brett at BBlades has done all my prop work and knows what works with our 1 step bottom.

That would be your patented one step bottom. :evilb:

DDC AVH Technology...

I stand corrected :lolhit:

Make sure you have some Bud Lights in the fridge Monday :ernaehrung004:

That run up river to the first card stop at Smithfield, flat out next to you the whole way, in absolutely perfect conditions, with those P5X's on for the first time, was spectacular. :)

Wished I'ld known at the time they don't like a lot of positive trim like Bravos do. Probably would have surpased 87.

Bone stock 29 P5X's. Very nice set of props without the cost of labbed Max's.

I have been running stock 29 P5X's on my boat for three years and love them. Might lose a little top end but over all performance is great and they are on regular Bravo's. Like Maklin said, they don't need a lot of trim but carry the boat really well.

I got laszlos old p5x props lined up to try come boating time. Fstboats also has a few different sets of bravo 32's labbed from mercury and stock for me to try.

Come on summer!
