Default Wheel advice for 38' Lightning w/staggered 525 efi's

Last new I bought a left over 06. I have attached the test report from Fountain. The performance numbers are very close to what I got. With two people and 30 - 40 gallons of gas my WOT (5300 - 5350) was 95.5 on a fresh water lake. The boat came with Bravo 1 4 Blade's 32P 48-831920. I bought a set of Hydromotive 15 x 30 P5-X 5 Blade's HCCL30*P5-X. I picked up 1.5 mph to 87. I am not apposed to changing wheel's or tweaking one of the sets I have. Let me know if you think I can do better. Thanks!!

yes. They are designed for stepped hulls with high X dimensions. Thats why I chimmed in when I saw your setup.

They sound nice. When I get a chance I am going to call Hyromotive and get their recommendation.

Are you saying you picked up 1.5 mph till you got to 87?

What happened after that?

34 Labbed B1's for top speed since you ran 10% slip with the 32's.

Hi Brett: We talked on the phone a few days ago about this. I have misplaced my notes from the last speed test I did. In two weeks I am going to run speed tests with the B1 and Hydro P5. I will make notes on rpm so you can verify slip. I will be in touch. Rodney
