About the time it hits 102.5 both are at 5400. Occasionally I feel the limiter kick in.
Variances can be prop, slip %, tach, engine HP/torque, driveshaft. For the most part the sticks are fairly even at all RPMs
When my boat was bone stock it did 93 on my test drive with the owner. He'd never seen that before. Only 92. Had Bravo 32's
I broke 4 B32's in a couple summers so I went to the Max 32's and it took 4 years to crack one. Midrange cruise efficiency went up 4-7MPH per same RPM. Top end dropped to 91MPH at a little less RPM though. I was very happy with the Max's.
The best prop for planing so far has been the B32's
I'll let the -1's go separately.

I tried some P5X's and the mid wasn't as good as the Max's. Couldn't do a top end run because I was all over the limiters. I was in need of the 35's at that time(engine mods). They were more fun than the spare 30 Max's I had at the time though.
I think I went something like this
32 Bravos, stock engines, 93MPH
busted 32 Bravo

30 Max's, stock engines, 88 MPH all over limiters???
32 Max's, stock engines, 91 MPH
32 Max's, innercooler, 93 MPH on limiter
blown head gasket
busted cam a couple hours after fixing head gasket
32 Max's, new engines, 93 MPH all over the limiter
busted 32 Max
30 Max's, new engine, 88 MPH all over limiters
35 Hering's, new engines, -1 lowers, 102.5 MPH barely on limiters, empty or full = 102.5MPH
35 Herings, new engines, busted drive, 0 MPH

CAt that thin looks bitc-hin'! I like the drive set up too. 
Rob are you going back to 5 blades now??
I am running 32 px5's and I like them now. But we will see how they work 3 inches higher. I might re pitch them .
