Interesting. Did you try a 5 blade? How high did you start and where did you end up with what speed and slip? |
We started out 3" above the bottom. The boat bow steered. I didn't try a 5 blade because more blades causes more transom lift and that was already the issue. The top speed was 120 with 16% slip.

How deep did you end up with the 4 blade? We’re you able to get good bow lift with the 4 blade? |

i think like said by others you’d need big HP to make up the difference for the added hassle. It would be a good place to start but I would bet you could maybe lower the drive some. Check 300s old checkmate was a 6 I believe 3 below the bottom. My boat however did not like the drive that low. Been there and was disappointed. The more I raised the drive the better the boat handled and the faster it went. The one starts above and ends below bottom. The other starts below and ends above. Think it's difficult to say what's best for me now. 😂 |

It’s easier to come down than go up. Not sure what the biggest spacer is for the #6, 2”? |
