In the drive section there are a lot of people who feel big power and 5 or 6 blades eat drives. How many hours do you have on yours so far?

2112,

Don't forget, Phil upgrades the drives on his big power Glads.

My drives are cryogenically treated and have Max vertical shafts, blueprinted and upgraded bearings and I want to get the most out of a 4 blade prop before I move up.

Joe, what pitch and blade count are you running?

Joe,
I would love to try some of their props. While you have had great results, they are still a relatively new prop. And, I find it hard to purchase a set of props not knowing if they are the best application for my boat. Julie has a set for me to try, but wants an order first. I tried some Maximus,s today and I think (for my application) a 5 blade is the way to go...... Call Julie, use your pull and get me a set to try. Surely, a man of your stature, plus being the the fastest 600 Gun out there should give you the power and ability to make it happen.:D

Thanks,
Paul

On gps with Phil to verify it. Even Phil was suprised! The Six blades are very nice. The boat gets on plane alot better than the 34,s and cruises nice. Acceleration is excellent and the boat tops out at 90-91. I can stay on plane as low at 30 mph if I need to. I always wanted to try a 5 blade to see if there would be any improvement in ride as well as an increase in speed.
