Im not really sure what your getting at, as with any straight bottom, the mystique has a porpose, i dont think thats any mystery. I have spent 2 yrs chasing the problem because i love the size of the boat and of course the name on the side. The reason for the thread was to let any other Mystique owner know the porpose is gone with 6 blade props, and 90% cured with 5 blades.
I got that. the pics were ment as a joke, I did not ever try using 6 blade props when I had my Mystique, I wish I had, Im glad you found out out the solution to the problem!! The Mystique is a great boat in all ways, I loved mine, Im just never happy with anything I own!

The mystique did have a design issue, the dealers used to call them the "mistake". In 2001 when Cig used to advertise on TV even Niel Hernandez could not keep the boat level for a commercial.

I dont have much of a problem. It is not a beginner boat, thats for sure. They do porpoise but for the size and evrything in the boat being so far aft, i think that is a lot of the problem. Ciagrette could have given a little more space in the engine room. It may have helped with the weight distribution. A set of 525 would be nice in these boats

Yes, This past 2 months i have been using it alot. I havent gotten trips in like i wanted but i will next year for sure. Its a head turner around here. The porpoise sucks but it can be tamed. Its has been running constantly 76 thru anything comfortably i have come across. It likes some speed and some rough water. I like your 35. I may look for one in a year or 2 and a 38 is not out of the question either. Still have to get rid of this Ocean Yacht.
Im actually heading out to try this title thing again for the trailer. This is the last time , i have advice from a lawyer in the family to try again. Next move is she can take it and deal with it. call me when i have a title. Thats the next step.

How is that 35 treating you, Hopefully problem free. I saw your red eye video. Makes me want to be there. I may be down at red eye this weekend if weather and a few other things work out. I really like the 35. you think you may want to get rid of it in about 2 to 3 seasons.

I love my new boat!! I have used it tons, Im sure in about another year i will be tired of it! Let me know what i can do to help with the trailer if anything!! have you made any upgrades to the boat over the last year? You should come to solomans Island, MD for the poker run and boat races Oct 2-3.

What pitch 5 blade and were they labbed? What kind of speeds were you getting compared to a 4 blade?

Was there a big difference in performance between the 5 hydromotives and 6 herrings?
