Check with Brett at BBlades, but from what I have been told, more blades make for more stern lift. or may want to check with Herring/Ben Robertson.

Got a set of p5s. They were on a slingshot with 700 plus a side with a 1.5 gear ratio. They are labbed 31s. Were not on the boat very long and in perfect condition. PM if interested.

Try driving the boat a little longer and get the feel for it and you might figure out how to make the stern settle down... in the end you might save $$$ on props.
