Shorty and five blades on 33
 

I am repowering a 33 and considering switiching to shortys withv five blades.

Any suggestions??

What year is it?
I just put -2 imco's on my 33 and picked up considerable speed. It's pretty rough to get on plane though, pretty much sound like a race boat taking off. I'm using 4 blade bravo's so the 5 blades would likelly fix that.

1997

repowered to approx 650hp

was thinking of going to 5 blade 26pitch

what kind of power are you using, gear ratio, and prop size

rpm/speed?

Sorry I forgot to reply to ya.

My engines dynoed at 673 @ 5800. I'm running 1.5 bravo's with 4 blade bravo props. I'm seriously considering getting some p5x's but I'm not sure I want to come off of the money right now:drink:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How short did you go, one or two inches?

What speeds are you seeing before and after?

What size prop are you running now?
