I'd say, you have it pretty well dialed in,

No sh!t, that's a great result for that boat. You should dial mine in, something's not right with my rig, based on your results.

That is dialed in. I had 900's. Really high x Dimension. 3As and I could run 97.4. That was just before I sold it. It was a 1993 Gun. Never played with many props to get the last few ticks. I also could have cheated and just changed blower pulleys.....lol

had 0 tabs, drives at 3.5, me and 110 girl, 1/4 tank, may have run a tad over 5600, these 4 blades from b blades are the secret if you ask me, boat is way better behaved with four blades, mine are spinning out, don't know if there is any speed left spinning in, I am curious what others see for slip, example is my buddys revolution with triple 650's runs 92 with bravo 32's at 5400 witch equate to 16 or 17 % slip, now he has significantly less diameter but I'm curious about prop slip, I am also hesitant to go at higher on x as I have spacers on #4's the boat planes so well know I don't want to go back to planing problems I had with three blades

Mine spinning in were good for 3mph. Made no difference in planing. Good luck with your project.

I would try a little more diameter in your props we have found that the big V bottoms like more diameter than what you are running. we start with 18 in diameter and go from there and end up around 17.5 to 17.25 and we get our slip numbers down under 10% Regards Dan

Yup, I have a set of 18" dia 4 blades x 32pitch, drives even with bottom and cannot get on plane. HOWEVER, when it does run, showing pretty good slip numbers, 10-12%?

I need to space drives down 1-2" for usability.
