Default What 5 blades

I have a 99 38 Powerquest with 525sc and 12" boxes 1.5 lowers. I lost a prop last weekend so I am deffinatly ready now. I am wondering which set I should try first. Any thoughts?

Also does anyone have a 4 blade 30 pitch bravo rt turn they may want to sell?

Thanks Rich.

I would recommend a Hydromotive P5-X for your application in a 5B configuration.

Most every manufacturer or distributor is going to suggest their version.

Food for thought....we developed and tested the Maximus propeller on a 38 Powerquest here in Wisconsin.

It depends on the manufacturer. What rpm and speed were you running with the stock 30's before it got lost?

You may need something in the 29 range from Hydromotive or a 30 Maximus.
