Question propeller questions,,,

02 35 fountain snorting 575's about 690 hp ea.. tons of power
getting used to it now and starting to love the step bottom the way it runs...

i am now running 31 hydro 5 blades and think my cruise speed is to low
1.50 gears.
what slip should i expect with
2 in shorty sportmsters with 1 in spacer
lets us 80 gal total fuel 2 people in boat..sluip should be???? 10% 15% 20%????

i am getting slip numbers of between 18-22% seems awfull high,,,
at higher speeds i can understand the high slip as i run some tab over 85 to keep it from chine walking.
according to fountains spec sheet on the boat the cruise was way higher etc.
would the p5x s be better or merc 5 blades ??

will mercs fit with the shortys??

any thoughts??

Been busy with the storm that never hit us. Getting things back in order. I sent you a PM.

It shouldn't be a problem getting your boat to run better. Your boat is typical of the type of boat we deal with. Get back with me on the information I need and then I can make some reccomendations.
