Hey Joe,

I'm running 600SCI's in a 05,38 ft Donzi ZR. I have XR's with extension boxes. I have to be really gentle with the drives and have had a few issues but generally pretty reliable. Props are Hering 5 blade 32 pitch which blow out alot on me coming on plane. I have used the Merc maximus 5 blades, they plane out faster but put more stress on the drive so I like the herings better, plus they are a little faster.

Have you thrown any herring blades yet ? and what is your X dimension , just curious ,thanks

Haven't thrown any herring blades yet, did throw a blade on the merc maximus though. Also, blew a drive last saturday. 2 teeth broke off the pinion gear which then cracked the case on my upper.

Would have to measure my x dimension, fairly high though.
