Default How true is pitch on Powertech 4 blade?

I run a Powertech 4 blade, so far it seems to hold the boat better
than any other prop I have tried (stock Bravo 1 , labbed Bravo 1 , Mach Sterndriver 4b )
and the best top speed ( 69.8@5200rpm) but still have way too much slip in the midrange due to a high x
so Im gonna try a 26p Hydromotive P5 , I know I will lose some rpm due to the 5 blades but wanted to know if the pitch on both props is somewhat similiar as opposed to lets say a Bravo which run on the small side.

you want a px5 not the p5 thats more of a cleaver style for transom lift not bow lift thats the px5, call Brett at bblades he might have them for his prop testing where you buy a prop test it, if it doesn't work you send it back for another prop there is a small charge for it.

If you go to a 5 blade, drop down 2" in pitch.
