I love end of the season deals!!
Just picked up a lab finished 26p hydro 4blade for $200. Guy had it on a 29 fountain.. Sold the boat a couple years back and decided to let me steal the prop..
Can't wait to get it on and see the difference from my 23p Mirage..
Have a great weekend guys!!

That's what I'm running Now! Good prop
I need a bigger one. BUT not running one to take it easy on the drive...
Big wheels = big torque
Haven't blown A drive yet... Just got to keep a eye on the RPM's @ WOT!
Ran a bravo 1 28L lab finished once... Best boat ride (on my boat) EVER!
Keep us posted on how "different" the boat feels
Your boat will ride different with a 4 blade...

Since I have had the boat for the last couple months my wife has let me open it up probly 3 times.. Right now I am running 72 on GPS with 4 people and 1/2 tank gas. I am hopping for 78ish with the new prop same gas and someone I can convince to hold the gopro..
BBlades said with my hp a labbed 26 p would be good. My 23p is hitting 5400 rpms but my dyno sheet say max hp is 4800 so I am hoping to drop that down a bit.

72mph at 5400rpm w/ 23p = 8%. I spin a 28p labbed P5X at 5400 and just touch 11% above 80mph. Not trying to burst your bubble here, but you may be surprised at what gains you actually get. Record your performance numbers, plug them into a slip calculator and let us know.

My experience may be a bit different from the avg 27. I'm running a -3 lower putting my X in the 20" range so it's not real fair to compare with a stock setup. However, I love the prop and the way it carries the boat.
