Anyone want to buy the left hand?
I would buy the right hand.

I might. I bought a regular P5 and the boat didn't like it. Julie and Matt are working with me to figure things out. They were a little surprised that my Fountain didn't like it. I already PM'd her about her thoughts on the 'X' version. Do we know if they're setup for XR drives?

No, I have not.
My boat runs perfectly flat with a right hand and just me in the boat. No port tab required until I have a passenger.
T, have you tried a LH?

I have a friend with a 29' Fountain I'm bugging too. He doesn't seem to want to spend the $$...
The props don't look like they have hubs installed.

No. I might just borrow one of my brothers this summer, just to see what happens.

It was great to talk to you Keith.
Bummer the props got sold.
I'll keep my eyes open for 25p or 26p.

Hey Guys,
I ran a box stock 25p RH on my boat yesterday.
2 guys, 40gal of fuel in conditions ranging from a 6" chop in the River to 2-3 footers in the Sound.
73mph top speed @ 5000rpm vs. 75mph @ 4800 with my 28p B1.
The boat handled vary well in the rough water. Better than with the 4 blade for sure.
I'm just not sure I want to spend the $600 for a prop that pushes my boat 2mph slower.
Opinions?

Hey Keith,
If you want it, it's yours. The prop came from a fellow OSOer that sold his boat.
I do think your were considering a lefty.
My boat ran flat with no tabs. With the 4 blade and two people I do run with a little port tab a lot of times.
