I'm running the p5-x 29 left hand. Best prop so for. I was running a 4 blade lefty hydromotive and was better than the bravo 1. Had it labbed for bow lift, helped a bit
Call hydromotive for their pitch recommendation. Trying props gets expensive and trying to resell them sucks.

I though everyone on here knew about BRET at Bblades, he has a prop deal. where you pay for shipping for each prop you try as long as you don't break it you can swap props with him until you dial in your boat then buy the prop from him or have labbed to where its best. he started with merc and knows his stuff. good luck , I hope this helps out some of you OSO brothers . we are lucky to have a guy like Brett who makes a living selling and labbing props and will work with us here.Brett is on here at oso good luck and be safe, also we lost a brother this weekend Mike RIP HIGH LIFE.

I ran my RH 26P Maximus yesterday. I saw great increases in mid range speeds. Not sure what the top end will be yet. I was running with FULL gas, 4 people, gear, etc. I was seeing around 4850 RPMs. I'd like to get the RPMs up a bit, which I think will come with less fuel on board. Also, the water was nearly flat.
Another thing I noticed is that this prop seemed to reduce, if not eliminate the issue I was having with the boat leaning to port. I was able to run without any tab.
After one run, I'm very pleased. One thing I missed about my 24 Super was the great cruising speeds. I'm almost back to those speeds now.

I found the maximus was a better prop all around on my boat.... 3-5 mph faster in the 3500 rpm range.... planned better.... as you said little or no torque lean.... just not as fast on top as the bravo one... about 2-3 mph slower.... I can live with that for all the positives it gives me....
