The boat ran flawless. Much more stable and pulled almost as good as the 5 bades. Ran 5600rpms at 111mph. 31 pitch 5 blade herrings no diffuser ring that is 8% slip not bad . I guess my thoughts were right, I gained almost 4mph from 6 to 5 blades. More Data testing to come. I am going to try a few more props incuding the bravo 1 32 pitch and also some 4 blade herrings.
