Still amaze's me I can't find a boat as a cash buyer. A lot of owners are stuck upside down on loans that are only 2-3 years old. I'll keep looking....

Very long story, short version. The boat is an '06 35 w/525's in a side by side set up with a 19" X dimension. It comes out fine with the stock Bravos as well as a number of other props I have tried. But I feel the change to -2 lowers and a 21" X is not going to be practical in terms of getting it on plane, even if it were a little faster. My labbed 5 blades work reasonably well but can be a pia to get out. I really enjoy this boat, I'm just trying to max out the performance without going into the motors. The issue here is not with the X dimension as Fountain set it up but with the prop lab recipe.

My 35' Executioneer was buried, so tne -2" Imcos worked wonders. Now I'm almost at 19", I think about 18 3/4".
