Maximus or P5x? Best bow lift?
 
Which of these two props has the most bow lift (least stern lift)?

A 15".. short tube.. Maximus
or
A P5x

The boat is a Nordic Heat (28ft, single engine, v-hull)
Prop shaft is at 3.5" below the keel, with a stepped hull, and a notched transom.

Current speed is 92-93 mph.
Speed with new motor should be over 100 mph.

I ran the P5X on my stepped Hull A/T and had very good bow lift with no stern lift issues, carried the bow nicely in the rough and no looseness at higher speeds.

Depends on the full Max recipe.

We can create way more bow lift with a 15" Max with the diff. removed than with the P5X. However, the P5X in stock form has more bow lift than the stock Maximus.
