Make sure drives are trimming equally and that they are aligned (toe). Those are two easy things to check that can really affect handling when out of whack.

I had bravo 32s on and the slip was 20% the maximus seems to be the better choice for lowering the slip i beginning to think stick with the bravos and drop drives down an inch ? Engines are twin 350s

Seems to me that those props are wrong for that boat. With 5 blades it sounds like way too much pitch for small blocks and I'm wondering why you even need the 5 blades to begin with.
I'd look at working those Bravos instead of the Maximus and understand that before I started spacing down the drives.

Getting too much stern lift with the Maximus.
