I had Q4 Clever Style Hyrdomotive 28 pitch props on my 1994 Cigarette Top Gun. Mid range cruise was not good. 38% slip at 3200rpms. I could feel vibration sometimes. Nevertheless, when I hammered the throttle, the boat would take off like a rocket and lift out of the water in seconds. You could feel the G-force. It's amazing. When they hook, you will know it. Since you are going to run them hard, you will like them. Note that you may have to lower your trim tabs down to get on plane. They blow out easy trying to get on plane with a heavy boat.

My buddy had the Hydromotive "Intimidators(?)" on his Cafe, & they always worked really well. It had great mid-range, & got out of the hole really fast.

I'm with Urban on this one. The Quad 4X is a great choice. It is only 15" diameter which is easy on the TRS lowers. You will be happy with them.
