I spoke with Tom from Hydro. With my -2 Imcos, he said the prop to go with is the P5. If I would have kept the stock drives the P5Xs would be the prop.
My question: do you think the P5s would be better up top than a labbed Bravo?

they are faster and safer . the handling is better, however if you had a high x before the shorties then you may experience a lil squirlyness up top. over all i would say yes they are good.

I'll have some pics up by the end of the day. Thank you all again for your valuable input. Probably gonna call one of the boys @ Hydro today and make the order for some p5's.....thanks again.

PS...Walked off and left a "100mph" Sunsation two weeks ago at the lake.....it seems like everyone has a 100mph boat these days...or so they say.

I just got my Factory Test report from Fountain...the X Dimesion reads 22"C x 19...now with the 2" shorty lowers...where does that put me? Maybe this will help clear things up....Should I still go with the 35" P5's?
