To be honest no. But I promise I will do a detailed comparison soon.
As soon as I can get on the boat with one of my boys and shake the wife and kids for a few hours I plan to really document the differences between the 2 sets.

I know there is more speed in it once I play with engine heights. I'm having the new props made with a 15.25 diameter which should allow me to come up another 1\8 inch.
I have ran pretty much the same set up (32B 300s 4 blade cleavers) I think it should have a little more in it. I have seen 98-99 consistantly and i have seen 101.I think playing with motor height is a start before spending money on props. Good luck

P.S. The difference from 4 to 5 blades is fantastic, the 5 Blades feel like a sewing machine they are so smooth
you missed his previous post about buying a set himself.

what water pressure are you running now?, and make sure you keep an eye on it with the new props . You'll prob get more lift and will need to raise engine heights to get some blade out of the water. Do you know what rake these props are?

Xchoke03 05-24-2008 08:46 PM
These props are 14.50 x 30P 5B. I have worked pretty tight with Matt and Julie and sent an extensive set of pics of my set up. Changed a few things the way they told me to so first thing tomorrow I'll give it a shot. I'll be sure to let you know how it works out !!
