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!!!!

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