Worked 29 pitch Hydromotive's..nice props!!

I"m interested as well...why are you not using them? The 32 pitch 5 blades I have was too much for my boat...not getting peak rpm. Went to 30" four blades but would like to run the 5 blades again.

The first time out I put a small ding in one blade and want to get it repaired. They will be going on the boat again this spring.
Huge difference in take off, acceleration and cruising speeds/ rpm.

I found the 4 blades blow out to easily when trying to plane unless get every just right. the 5 blades always hooked but again too high of pitch.

Hey Jordan,

I have a set of Maximus 5 blades...32" and labbed. I have to check with my marina that they haven't sold them yet. Interested?

I might be, my current props are labbed 32 4 blades and if I remember right he sed it was touching the limiter at times.

Wish you were closer id surely like to try them first.

Ok Verbi and Need4speed, what do you guys think of the props you have? Have either of you tried both the Max and the Hydros? I have a set of 32p 5 blade Max I can try but was very happy with the 4 blade Hydros I sold. Pros/cons???

Let me check with my marina that there not gone and if ground shipping is reasonable. Might be able to work out something. PM me...

well it is a bittersweet day around here today, the guy i had from Ohio coming to look at the 290 ended up agreeing to purchase it and put a deposit down on it until he could come back with his truck and take it home... which will be in a few weeks in March. When i was cleaning it up last night knocking the winter dust off her i sat down in the drivers seat, adjusted the wheel and put my hand on the throttles... kinda made me sad to sell since i had so much fun on it and it ran so good for me. I dont think I'll ever be able to match that feeling i had when i first took it out, i finally felt like i had made it, lol.
As of now I have started my search for a new boat... looking at the 32-35 foot range with 496HO's or preferably 500EFI's, so keep your eyes pealed! just remember... blue collar wage over here so nothing too fancy haha!

well,congrats....I guess.You'll miss her but the new boat will make you smile,too ! Good luck. Bob
