I took a set of 32 labbed off and put on a pair of P5X props..........and what a difference. It comes out of the hole really nice, soft and steady. Now getting 5300 RPM @ 85.4 mph GPS.....but what is the nicest........cruising at 40-50 and puch it.......there is no delay just get up and go. Around the docks .... I get better control

WILDMAN1 (DAD) got the rackaminium at Mid Island....now you can let me use the condo......DAD :D :D

Did you notice better lift with the P5s? The issue we are trying to address is lift. with 28 labbed 4 blades we get a very good hole shot and mid range. Wtih 30s not labbed we get a slow hole shot and mid range. but 3+ mph better top end. With either we don't get the lift we need, the boat doesn't loosen up when fully trimmed. This is in Pwrqests 38 with 525 blower motors.

Seems like if we could get the right lift we might get both the hole shot and the top end. If you have any advice let us know.

Well....at any time any prop will not give you want you want through the entire range. So,I did not get the top end I thought I might get, but I was really looking for hole shot and mid range anything else was a plus
They are 27 pitch...if that helps at all
