What prop are you going to buy? |
Re: Hydromotive P5
Not sure, I'm going to give all my numbers to them and let them tell me. I really liked the P5 I tried, I think it was a 26p, but now with the spacer and everything else settles in, it's a new game - why, do have one????

Brett does not think a 5 blade would gain me much as the slip is 10% on my boat with a Bravo I. I do plan on trying a 5 blade at some point soon though. We'll see how she runs after I get my 28p back and go from there... |

Pat, What exactly are they tweaking on your 28? pitch, cup? |

Pat, What exactly are they tweaking on your 28? pitch, cup? Also, when I trim up there is a fine line between running fast and the prop breaking free. The second mod is a slight rake and cup change so the bow can be carried with less trim. T-Mone, here on OSO, has a 24' Pantera and says the Hydro P5X is by far the best prop he has run, but I can bring myself to brake the bank until I try one. |

Since I've been slowly adding weight - stereo, interior, porta-potti, etc I felt the boat needed more bow lift, hence the 1" spacer installed a few months ago. Now I'm running her hard again to see speed at rpm to report to BBlades and fine tune a prop, as I do want a spare (the 26p Bravo 1). Did I mention I was one happy SB'er??? WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE? Thanks again Rick and JC!!!!! |
