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.

the hydro p5 x round ear seem to work the best over p5 s. Cleaver style

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
