Believe me, I want you to find the best possible prop, just passing on what has been mentioned. As much as I love hod rodded equipment, I hate it when it goes boom.
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.
Keep us posted, I always have something to learn

two different sets... both 6 blades, but, there's some interesting "twists" to the props that make them quite a bit different from the 'normal' 6 blades.
I will let Matt and/or Julie share their secrets, if they choose (not trying to be coy -- but rather honoring their "trade secrets").
...Best money I've spent on propellers EVER! The boat has picked up 5+ MPH without losing anything in the lower and mid to get there. Matt's the Prop (and rigging) Wizard!

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.
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.
