I was thinking the same thing - 34"center and deeper propshaft - something is not right. My former boat, 38 twin step tg with warmed over 575s ran the 32 pitch maximus (labbed by BBlades, 1.5 drive ratio).

When I picked it up on the way home we got caught in a cold rain storm. Temperature dropped and sky's opened. Here's a link to a video my friend recorded.
