Not as good as my stock Bravo props but way better than my labbed bravo’s. They slip until the boat is on plane but it doesn’t take long to get it up. Once the nose lays over they hook up and stays on plane at 2000 RPM. They cruise really well and the boat handles better than anything else I have tried. They are about 5 mph faster up top than my labbed bravos, but it might not be a totally fair comparison because after 85 mph the slip number goes through the roof with the bravos which is why I started testing out 5 blades.

Yes they are 600HP now

They are 532CI
4.600 bore, stock stroke
9.4:1 compression
Dart Iron Eagle CNC ported heads
525 spec camshaft
Hardin throttle bodies/flame arrestors
Aeromotive fuel system

Have you tried any other 5 blades? How are the dry tails, sound wise? Really cool boat BTW. Keep posting pics.

Between my boat and a customers side by gladiator which runs very similarly we have tried a handful of other props.

-Maximus; way to much bow lift
-Hering 5 blade; way to much overall lift, felt like there was no boat in the water
-Hydromotive 6 blade; to much stern lift, boat felt unsettled
-Numerous bravo ones; slip numbers all went way up after 85 mph
-BBlades 4 speed; work pretty good and is actually what is currently on the other gladiator. Run similar to the bravo with much lower slip numbers.

The Hill cleaver was by the far the best running prop on both boats

I would like to try a set of Max 5’s and a set of Hydromotive 5 blades at some point if I get the chance. Would really like to try a set of Mercury cleavers and see if the boat likes the 15 degree or 18 degree rake better but they are out of budget for just the sake of testing. I would assume it would come on plane easier with the 18 degree rake but I don’t think it would like the added lift at speed.
