Default 41' prop?

Finally close to getting my 41' in the water again and starting to think about what prop to start with. Have procharged 540's with rite at 750hp and -2 sportmaster xr's. What are your thoughts on props?

Before ran 80mph with stock 500's and 4 blade 30 pitchers.

Well, ended up not getting on plane with above setup and Hydro 33" 5 blades 15" dia. I put the standard lowers on and went 94mph close to 5000 rpm. Drives were all the way in. I am adding 2" spacers to get the Sportmasters to dig in. I want to trim some and be at 5200 rpm. Was thinking of trying a 34" P-5x, or a 33" p-5. Which would be a better fit? remember lowering the drives 2". Thanks

If its a stock x dim. use a 1 in shorty it work best. but you have to run a 5 blade. to get the boat up on plane.
we allways ran hydros done buy Mike at Halls. I like the drives towed in 1/8 in.

What did you end up doing with props? Hows the boat running?

Boat runs great. I went with the 2" spacers and Maximus 32s for mid range performance. I also have a set of 33s hydros. Trimmed out running just north of triple digits. However the almost nonexistent diffuser ring makes getting on plane a chore.
