Thanks guys. Yes top end is 106. I have never run cleavers or tweeked for top end. Everyday right at 100

.

size-wise, what is the difference between the 30 and the 32 Spectres ?

.

The Victory looks like a Skater to me!! Lol

If you never have run clevers what are you running? i have heard nothing but good things about the dewalts and blasters from BBlades. I picked up a couple of Ron Hill 4 blade bravo style over the hub vented props from a friend for a steal. I don't like them for anything other than running in rough as they bite great. The over the hub design seems to lift the stern spining out and burys it spinning in. I also lost mph with the Bravo design. With 15x30 labbed clever Spinellis I'm bumping 100. I nedd 15x34 clevers to bust 100.

Hey Bob, Eric is a good friend of mine and we run a lot of the runs together. He is running 15x32 BBlades Bravo's. On his boat they run really well. At one point in time a few summers ago we did bolt up a set of 4 labbed merc 4 blade Cleavers and a Set of 5 Blade dewalds and tried them but they ran the same as his Bravo's. For that boat the bravo's are hard to beat.

I ran 4 blade lab finished 32"x14.75 Merc cleavers on my 28 and hit 110 consistently with fuel and three buddies in the boat. They were very good props. I have BBlade 32" bravos on the 30 and it takes a few seconds to hook up and top end is not were it should be. Mid range is decent but it is likely 300XS vs 300X issue. I'm waiting on Dewald to finish up tooling and plan to try his in the mean time I ordered another set of MercNs as they were good work horses. I may sell them if I like the Dewalds.

Skater Guy

Well I've made up my mind and it looks like I'm seriously in the market for a 32 cat. If you've got something or know of something that's not listed please let me know. I'd prefer a B Skater but would also entertain A hulls or a DW. On a Skater I'd prefer trips but wouldn't rule out twins, on a DW I think they're all twins but let me know what's out there.
