358 Best Props ?
 

Hi All,
I remember reading some serious tests, results about the best props for the 358s. I want to reduce the hopping, bouncing and need for so much tab and down drive during normal cruise speeds. The motors are stock 502's. I currently have the stock Bravo 1 props. Anyone remember the results or have a suggestion. Or better yet have a set of props for sale?
Thanks for all the help.

Mike, I had previously posted the test results below. I have made some additional changes to my boat and now I am on the rev. limiters with the 27 pitch 5 blade hydromotive props so I would be very interesred in selling these at a very reasonable price. The 5 blades also give more stern lift and help significantly with the nose bounce plus much better out of the whole response and improved fuel economy E-mail me or PM me if you are interested.
