Default What 5 or 6 blade prop for a Bravo has the most rake and cup???

I need some serious bow lift with a IMCO Xtreme SC drive with 1 1/4" prop shaft. I am putting this on a 25 foot V with a pad and no steps.

What 5 or 6 blade produces the most bow lift???

My X is too high for a 3 or 4 blade!!!

The Maximus would have the greatest rake with inherent bow lift in blade design.

I agree the Maximus with its 30 degrees of rake is the best choice. I also know additional adjustments to the prop to match the boat will make it that much sweeter.

I sent an email to you this morning. I need a 5 blade that is going to bow lift like a MOFO to hold that bow up!! Does the Maximus have 30 rake or 24?? I am hearing different things. Anyway...The boat is at Precision Marine and he has a Hering and Steve at Cat House has a few Maximus props that we are going to try. I want to try to get close on the pitch before I start labbing and ordering new props. When you read the email that I sent you let me know what you think we should do.
