Joe- Until I run out of prop, I'm sticking with 1.50:1. With the new limiters, I should be good for a while!

BBLADES offers a R5 propeller made from our 5-SPEED casting. We have been putting it on everything from large bass boats to 38 Fountains. We have a world championshin in OPA class 5 this year as well as wins on other twin engine st ups.
We have not officially released the propeller but we may have some for testing in the size you desire with the option for purchase. Let me know if this may interest you.

Another great option is a custom Labbed set of Maximus props or the BBLADES 4-SPEEDS.

If I am reading this right your R5 would be the BBlades version f the Max5? If so what sizes would be available for testing? Also how did the Fountain hull like them?

He loved them till he broke a tie rod and crashed.
We only have 26's and 32's in the test inventory.
We can make more, potentially. Castings are bit short. I do have 24 and 34 castings.
Missing 28's RH and 30 RH.
