My Performance report shows that my boat was tested with a 22P Mach. Anyone running a lower pitch prop?

Mine shows a 24 left hydro. Ive run it and have gone to a B1. Boat comes out of the hole alot better, especially with a load. Sent it to brett this winter and have it back now, but havent run yet. Previous owner had a 23 mach which I have but have never run it.

Fountain used Mach props in the early 90s. My 93 525SC had a 24" Mach sterndriver. I used this prop with a HP500 carb while I was rebuilding the 525SC. The boat was sluggish to get on plane, but no blowout. I hit 71mph at 5200rpm. Currently runing a 24" P5X and got 74mph at 5300/5400rpm with my rebuilt 525SC. I have a new drive with a -2 lower I will try this summer. I really like the P5X, the boat gets on plane easely and have improved the mid range significantly.

I would be interested in hearing your report once you run it.
