Interesting. Looks like it can go either way depending on the setup. They are using some cold heat ranges though.

Those non projected will probably work! We tried R5671A-9 -8 and -7 None of those will work at all.
The new plugs I am running are BCPR7ES and work awesome.
Will post more info later on leaving for Jax and my son tried to cut his finger off this morning. At ER getting stiches not a good day so far....

Zero,
Are you running 4 or 5 blades? Can you share your cruise RPM and speed with your setup?
I was running the 4blade - 32s and it would cruise @ 65mph around 33-3400RPM, drives tucked and dragging tabs, but lots of difficulty getting on plane. With the 30s, cruise drops to 60mph, same RPM and conditions. I'm interested in finding an all around prop that will plane, fast cruise, and hook up in the rough. Any suggestions?

Wow...... Where's the "Cigarette Brother from another Mother" loyalty? These are really cool boats, that are truly difficult to make fast. I gave up a few years ago. Mine is set up for the long distance cruise at 3000-3500. It runs 93-94 WFO , lot of trim, long low rooster tail. But I do not run it there, it cruises at 3500 61-62 mph, 62 if it's choppy. Negative trim, negative tab. After 70 the nose lays flat and trim can go neutral to positive. Most time, I'm at 2900-3000, because the other boats we run with have to run to hard to keep up. Remember I said long distance, 100 miles usually. We run destination trips, in the SALT, it takes me 2-3 hours to wash, dry, cover, and put it away each time, so it stays in for the weekend on a trip.......It's the journey, not the destination. I asked Mr Brooks to try the 5 blades, after watching his boat run 110 miles on a trip. The old cigs are a blast and a ego trip to run, just my opinion but more fun to cruise and not break, than run around WFO and wrench all the time....... Carry on Cig Brothers.

Thanks Mark, would like to try some 5 blades someday. Not into spending another $6K to "test" props at the moment. I think I'm pretty darnn close with what I have, would be a huge benefit if I had others around me with similar setup and years of experience with that. Lucky that you have those guys close.
