27 Fever with P5X
I got a good deal on a Hydromotive P5X 24" and decided to try it.
The boat is a -93 with a 525SC, 5 psi boost, .60 over and SRP flat top pistons, comp cams 280AH-14 (flat tappet) and CMI E-Tops.
The prop shaft is about 4.5" below the bottom
I got 74 mph at 5300 rpm with 2 people in the boat and 1/2 tank of gas in flat salt water.
In all I'm happy with this prop for everyday use, easy planning and good cruise, the boat runs pretty flat which I like as I boat in the ocean. The slip might be a tad low, it would be interesting to see how the boat/prop respond to a shorter drive.
