I ordered a set of 15 1/4" 28p Maximus for the 382 today, should have them in time for the first splash this season in a couple of weeks. I'm chomping at the bit to get the boat out and running again
I'll keep everybody posted on the performance numbers as soon as I get them dialed.

Sea Crit Are those three or four blade.

They are Mercury 5 blade props. Supposed to improve slip without killing top end. In some cases even improving top speed.

sea crit email me ..I had sent you one through offshore admin and it has my new email address.

The #1 best improvement to a 382 Fastech is to go to Maximus props.Performance all around over 4 blade Bravo I's is really amazing.

I sent you a PM with my E-mail.

Any info on the props? I have a 382 and have tried several props and can't do any better than the original 28" bravo's. I have not tried maximus props yet.

Magicfloat, Do you think a set of Maximus props would do anything for my 353sport w/ 496mag HO's currently running 4 blade 28p from the factory.....ERIK

Try 26 Maximas,non-labbed.

I tested a set of 28 Maximus' on my 353 (600 HP or so) Big diameter 15 5/8". All I can say is WOW. The cruise speeds and acceleration was nothing like I've ever felt in a boat. Sent them out to BBlades to get labbed, should be back in another week or so. Check out my test video!

Maximus test

Click on Maximus test. Note: I was only able to spin the large diameter prop to 5000-5100 where as the motors will run up to 5600-6000! That's why they are at BBlades.
