4 or 5 Blade
I have tested the boat with my new power and 32 Bravos. Still hitting the rev limiter, only after getting too full speed and fully trimed out. Air is cool and will loose some rpm when it gets hot.
Question: Should I get the props cupped more or try the 5 blades? Is there any advantage too the 5 blades other than hole shot and cruising?

Re: 4 or 5 Blade
5 Blade proppellers are more efficient than 4b props. They will provide better hole shot and faster planning. Additionally they will produce better cruise speeds and cavitate very little, or much improved over the 4B. They will typically produced increases in cruise speeds from 3-8 MPH. Now for top end it is possible to maintain the same top end of your 4B but this really depends on the degree in which your are dialed in to date!
