ive talked to 4 people with 39s with 600s all said the same you will hit high 90s with the 5 blade very few will run over a 100 but with the 6 blade should run 101-102 and with the whipple upgrade 105 weve been playing with our props down side to the 6 blade is it harder on the drive.

That is not true...the difference from a 5-6 is not that huge...mid range maybe, not top end...
Dan is right, you're not seeing a 5-6mph difference on top end from a 5 to a 6...maybe midrange, but not top end...he should have no issue with the 5 blades....the stern lift from the 6...there's other factors at play here, not props...unless the pitch is totally off, if he's saying the same speed at 4500-5000...something's not right...

No bow steer. They're a nice running boat that needs some negative tab at higher speeds. With none they'll walk on you a little bit. Here's the GPS shot of What a Rides boat after delivery.

Spacer
If memory serves me correct, I believe owner of boat put spacers in drive to avoid lower problems. If that is the case, I am sure if you take out or change spacers, you will pick up more speed. The guys at CP that did all the rigging are also very helpful if you want to ask them any questions. I know they did alot of testing and prop testing.
