I was just down your way over the weekend at Ft Myers Beach/Sanibel area.(Drove in the car) It was so HOT! So 80mph full of fuel with 3 is good.

Talked to buddy of mine with an 02 388. He went from bravo to p5x and said the boat liked it a lot. Much better high speed handling. Almost zero planning blowout. Much more cruise speed. He has no boxes and standard length lowers. What I find odd, I thought these 388's need a bunch of bow lift? If that was the case the bravo's should work better... but defintely not according to him. Maybe it's the bow lift that is making them loose??

I tried a set of 28 Maximus s and lost 6 mph . I slung a blade on my p5xs after I got them labed just right. I have a set of p 5 s I'm going to try.soon

That's scary on the p5x.... who labbed them? And what did you gain from the p5x labbing? I heard you can only go so far with them because they already have such thin blades. 100-180rpm gain in told.
On the Maximus that is normal. Were they stock? If so that's a whole lot of blade/diffuser.

I had 32 Maximus cut down to 15.25 and diffuser trimmed. **** ton of money spent on them. Still not near as fast as th stock p5x were
