It's hard to say I'm still working out all of the llittle problems. It's a little hard to get them all done when it keeps snowing here. Last weekend wast really nice. I still ave prop work to do. I'm getting a really big slip problem with the 28p Bravo Im runnig now. I might try a p5x next to see if this helps??? I'm running low to mid 70's right now. But I think that mid to upper 70's is not out of the picture before I'm done. This is the guess work part. I'm hoping to get her all dialed by the end of may.

Your slip #s will be bad with a B1 4 blade if you have the same high x-dimension most of the early step hulls had (19-19.25"s), regardless of prop mods. The easiest fix is a 1" drive spacer. You will have better luck with a P5X at the stock XD. I would try that 1st, since it's easier to do. I am running a 1" spacer in mine, and my 4 blades still need considerable cup and other mods to work properly. The P5X is still the best prop on my boat, even at +1".
Regards,
Steve
