Seems there have been a few developments this summer as to the best props for the 382. I see that Formula now ships w/Maximus 5 blades.
What's the latest thinking? Last I heard, Hydromotives seemed to be the way to go, but perhaps experience has altered some views.
What do you all think?

Troutly, are you running the 5 blades on your 382?
I have recently purchased the 382 from NC with the 1100's/Bmax set up..
had it out only once it seems to be under propped 1.30 w/28" Bravo's
I have a friend with a new Hustler w/850's/1.36 running 30" 5 blades pulls very strong and awsome cruise 80 @ arrox 4100

CA Formula 1,
Probably can't compare the 382 to a Hustler 388 ... weight, hull, etc are not even close. My Poker Run Special had 950 H.P. in it at one time rumored to run 114 m.p.h. Go easy on those sticks!
