Good luck with the boat. A friend of mine owned it.They are deffenently 540 Bulldogs. He lives only3 miles from me, but I don't think we ever were on the lake at the same time. So I can't tell you anymore about performance.

Thats Cool! yeah I'll have to talk to my dad about the performance of it, Yeah its the only 33 I've ever seen with the Bulldogs So i'm sure the performance of it is awesome...The boat itself is in really good shape though! Everything on it is in mint condition!

Well Was over at my dads tonight...Boat is pretty mean..Its loud! He said he's got it up to 82mph out here at the local lake with 30P bravo 1's he bought some 29P 5 blade hydromotives and he's gonna try those out..
He does have a pair of 30P Merc Labbed Bravo 1's for Sale if anyone is looking for a set we can work out a deal...
and also he has another Looks like labbed 30P Bravo 1's but he backed up into a sandbar with them and the tips of the props are scratched up..not bad but they are scratched up....I can get pictures of either props if anyone is interested.
But the boat sounds and looks good!

I would guess based on my experience that he will loose top end with the five blades. Usually you drop down two pitch sizes as a rule of thumb when you go from four to five blade but the big problem will be the low X dimension.
Keep us posted!
