    I realized I wanted to just "move along, nothing to see here..."

    Or on it, depending on how big his shaft is

    28,

    I do have a labbed BI, and a P5X if you want to try them. They are both 28p.

    heres my take,... his 28 is flattend out and is no longer a 28p prop.... I could be wrong, but the slip numbers don't jive


    we were running side by side, I was at 4300/4400 rpms doing 72... he was at 5000 or over doing 72... I have a 26p he has a 28p sounds backwards...

    I have a few props he can try...

    I think your right.. Last time I had it worked he said I should get a couple hundred more RPM's out of it, and I did get some. He also said it had been worked before... For all I know it could be more like a 25 now...

    I think a 28 is too much prop for it..

    Prop don't gain or lose pitch (unless the ears are completely removed from the hub and welded back on.. They are measured in the center of the blade. Adding or removing cup can add or reduce slip, which in turns allows for the variation in RPM.

    If the slip numbers don't jive, make sure the tach is reading correctly. Take GPS speed reading at every 500 RPM increments, also recording trim settings any anything else that may affect the readings. It really is the only way to truly figure out what the prop is doing. Take that info to the prop gurus and let them work their magic.

    Stepped hull.. Thanks I'll check it out.
    looking at the 5 blade, won't work for your boat, but pretty sure the hydro is in the right direction...

    it's a 26p though... it will work if you have the bravo 1 prop shaft, xr shaft is bigger..

    you can change pitch without removing the blade..
