overall hull lifting props? More stern lift?
 
Are there props that would offer more stern lift than a bravo 1 in stock form? I've been researching and figuring and researching and figuring. After a p-5x doing worse than I thought it made me scratch my head. I got up on skis behind the boat so I can see what it looks like in the water, as of right now, I'm convinced I need a better stern lifting prop. (I think a shorty lower would help, but I'd rather try a prop first)

Can anyone give some suggestions as which to try. I called BBlades but they are incredibly busy so I might just get a few from them to try in the mean time.

Thanks!

Hydromotive Q4's will create a lot of stern lift.

ok but how do you keep them from blowing out at 3500 rpm? i love the top speed of them but i have baby it out of the hole. and where we boat that really isn't option.

I run 28P,, Q4's on my 35 Fountain Lightning,,I plane out easily at 2500 rpm,,they work well and have good stern lift.

Now the problem, I can't find a Q IV anywhere! BBlades is out! Apparently, Hydromotive said no new props until next season.

EDIT: And, what is the difference between the normal Q4 and the Q4 O/T? Is it just diameter? I would think I'd want the larger diameter?
