I really think you like the 5 blade Dewalds. The style of prop in addition to the rake should provide more bow lift. Do you know what the results were and if they swapped rotation on your boat?
I assume since you need bow lift you are turning in?

Hey Ron, Props are turning in. Lifted the ass end too much when they were turning out and couldn't keep the nose up. Boat didn't like it at all but I wasn't there for that run.

Well changed the last of the fittings for water pick ups. The one on the left is a steel fitting that was previously installed. The reducer on the top had a blunt edge internally that may have been creating turbulence.
I had new ones made at Stainless Marine in Opaloclka, FL.
Jerry is awesome. And in the spirit of keeping up with Zero I reduced overall weight of the boat by 2lbs!!!!

Another day of work in the shop. Had to remount engines on jackplates to be able to get more height.

Got a new set of Dewalds 32"P Cleavers and a still waiting on a couple more other sets.

Will see how the cleavers run in comparison to the 5 blades.

Did you get a chance to test more? Curious how high you may end up being.

Craig,
Have not been able to get out yet. Hope to do so real soon. Been short handed at work and my son's baseball season is in Full Swing no pun intended!

After much thought and deliberation I wanted to give this boat and idenity.
Came up with OverKill.
With some help from Ryan Beckley here it is. Another great job Ryan. Trailer decals going on tomorrow with new custom diamond plate tool box.
