No sh!t tell me about it, What a fu@king year

Spoke with Jim today and he has found me a lower, and has a set of 4 blade labbed 32 that he is going to let me try.

Rich,

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Do you have any blow out issues with the four blade props during hard acceleration out of the hole. i have noticed that my four blades will blow out wiht the 525's and I have been told to get a set a five blades. I am interested in hearing how your labbed 32's work.

Rich.
With the tests we ran last year with the 28s, I bet the 32s will have excessive blow out. I agree with PA, a set of 5 blades may do the trick, but a used pair will be much more difficult to find.

Give Brett a call at BBlades. You can work a deal out with him to try out some Maximus 5-blades. Just costs you the S/H both ways as long as the props are returned undamaged. Great guy to work with.

Scott/Hills.....we are planning a IL River run on 9/16, followed by a cookout at my old man's pad in front of east port.

Mark it down if your not in the fields yet...

Several will be staying over night on the boat or in the stoney creek lodge.....

You are probably correct a 5 blade is probably what we both need but since Jim has this I'm going to try them first then order a set of 5's and try them.

Gonna be a hot one down there this weekend. I see a lot of folks opting for comfort and shedding their suits. I'll be holding the fort down in Sunset Cove at the local pond. Take pics...plenty of pics.
