props on a 1999 35
Any feedback on how these props might perform?
Hydromotive Intimidator P5-X , 28 P
Boat is a '99, single-step 35, 500's warmed up, -2 Bravo Shop lowers.
Currently running labbed 30P Bravos swinging out.
Thanks,
Zack

I ran 26 Hydros stock and 28 Bravos labbed by Merc on mine, motors were stock. Both sets were about the same, had a handling preference for the Hydros myself. The Bravos cruised better though. Turn them in, not out, the boat will perform and handle better, which is why Fountain turned them in from the factory.
What are you seeing for speed now?

Speed is 84.3mph GPS, fall/spring, cool, day, me, no fuel. Otherwise, 80-ish.

razor, We had the same boat/power but with Stellings ext. boxes. Came with Hydro Q4's, ran similar speeds as you are now. The 5 and 6 blades work best when the X is very high...
You may gain some top end since you have -2 shorties, for sure your planing and mid range will jump vs. now.

Monster thinks I have too much slip. I have a set of 1" drive spacers I am going to try very shortly. If that doesn't pan out, they will be here for sale to someone who can benefit from them.
