Congrats! Sure miss mine. Watched the poker runners go by yesterday and it damn near brought a tear to my eye.
I highly recommend the Hydromotive 5 blades. Do a search and you should find a thread by me about them. As Sideways said they hook up really well so you need to be good on the sticks.
You sure your tanks are not 100 gallons? Regardless, the 525's are thirsty beasts for sure!

That 90 was not real world because it was near impossible to get the boat on plane with those props. They did not stay on long after that. But he got to say he did it!
The OP's posted speeds are low. Mine would hit 85 - 86 any day. (Even up the fresh water James River.) 87 - 88 pretty much guaranteed in perfect conditions. Even with stock Hydromotive 5 blades, which is why those props work so great on these boats. The Max's need to be labbed to work well.
That seems to be the norm for this setup.

I am looking for a set of props for this 37 AT. i have bravo 1 32p 4 blade stock. i hear you guys saying get 5 blades and some guys say what i have is best for performance. Either way i only have the one set i am running so i would like to get a new set and keep these for spares. anyone got a set of either one they wanna sell? preferably labbed. I would like to try the 5 blade before i spend $2k to $2500 on them but i know that's probly not gonna happen. so i am counting on fellow AT guys to give me their experiences and knowledge on the matter. i am pretty sure Pat told me on the phone that 32p 4 blades r best and i find it hard to argue w the man building these things. but im open to hear what other guys have tried. Should i call BBlades or anyone else recommended?

also what diameter is best. i see there is some small differences out there. same w brand. does the brand matter? have the diffusers cut or no? i know alot less than i thought i knew about props once i started looking around.
