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.

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???

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!
