I was going nut's with mine trying to get on plane also until I got a pair of mercury 18" dia 5blade,They made a world of a difference.I'm on plane at 2800-3000 rpms it's like a different boat with these.I tried many props from 16.5 -17.25 and these are the best.The only problem is they hurt your wallet!!

Put the boat in the water yesterday, first time in 5 years it has seen water. There are small issues left which can be fixed this week (I hope), however, we could not get on plane with the props. Dumbfounded on that one - 16.5" dia x 34 pitch, need help, will post in Prop Talk section.

keep in mind those were pitched "up" last time they were at B Blades. I believe they are closer to 35+

Did the 5 blades slow you down on top speed Frank?

Frickstyle , boat looks amazing!!
I bet you get those props scanned you`ll find they have little cup , I bet in the .40 range. You can buy big wheel 5 blades or just add cup.
This only helps a little
I wasted a lot of time adding 2" spacers when all I needed was the right prop.
If you need 2" spacers I have some for sale..or maybe Frank wants em back??
