Default Maximus on 42' lightning

Have the opportunity to buy 24p maximus for a 1993 lightning. Currently running 23p mirages on stock 502's. Any advantage to 5 blades? Fairly happy with the current setup just looking for some input.

You will probably lose 500-600rpms going to 24 Maximus props from 23 Mirages.

You will pick up 5 - 10 MPH crusing at 3500

whats your x or propshaft height? a 93 was a nonstep boat. so your drives might be too deep. a b1 24 might be better if your deeper than 4'' or x less than 17.I know a friend runs p5s on his newer 42.

You will pick up cruise!
Top speed may drop.
We have them for testing if you would like to try before you buy. It's easy and cheap.
