Nope, found a good deal on a pair of 30" maximus, friend has the 32's and a bunch of other Maximus that I'm free to borrow. my 30's are on a bud's tiger today- lots of swapping going on

The P5X and P5's are great props, thougn i do like the air holes in the merc 5 blades from the factory

oh yea, all my testing is turning in as advised by Elim.

update- appears i sorted out my waterflow issue.... so I went for a ride- water had some wind ripple but not more than 4-6"

As I learn the Daytona.....

I take off and put trim to where I cruise- about a 7-8 foot rooster at
45-55, as it packs air, the nose comes up, I get to 65 at 3800 consistently, then the rooster is about 3-4', no change in trim, I guess I need to be more gradual with trim, ran about 92.5 again, I think I need more lake and headwind for the 496's/hull to do their thing, I'll talk with Julie tomorrow
and fine tune these props. the bite and stern lift is awesome, I can slow down to 30 and the wake is almost skiboat quality. speedo starts at 30 so maybe I can go slower. Will also check out Imco cavitation plates (don't
have any) funny thing is the 30" maximus' broke loose easier an inch deeper in the water with stock lowers/cavitation plates???????

Yes those numbers are at Havasu- in fact i haven't really played with it much but i am sure 106 is obtainable- anyhow anything over 100 mph with stock black merc power is impressive !!!
