Boat rides terrible slaps water just don't do anything good I bought some 6 blade herrings today 31p trying to get it out of the water get it to ride the 525 are just way too little power for this boat probably gona put the wipple kits on them for the time. It has the 34 5blade maximus props on it don't have enough motor to turn them Its a pretty boat not much more I can say good

How fast do you think this boat should run??? With the 34's you are setting your expectations as a 100+ MPH boat and even the 31's you are saying mid 90's. I'd think 30 Maximus on the big side and probably more like 28p Maximus or 30p Bravo 1's

I've ridden in several 525 XR 38 boats and while I agree the boat wants more HP they rode great with 525's.

Waaaaaaaaay over propped..... My 38 Cigarette w/525.... ran 32 bravo 4 blade. 5 and 6 blades are not meant for a Bravo XR set up..... too much load if you want the drives to last.
32's should be the prop you should run... should be a solid 85mph boat.... Call Bob Teague.... he will get you the props you need for this boat.
Whoever talked you into hearing 6 blades..... return them

34 Maxximus is way too much prop. I am running a 38 with Ilmor 625's and don't run 34's. I have a set of Maxximus 30's maybe you could try out. You would definitely be a lot more impressed with the boat propped right..
