33 Outlaw with boxes and big HP?
Anybody running a 33 Outlaw with 12" boxes and bigger HP? Curious as to what props you are running. Got a buddy with a 2003 33 Outlaw with 12" boxes and 500 EFI's tweaked by Brad Smith to 605 HP. XZ drives, 1.5 ratio, standard 30" Bravo I 4 blades, turning 5,400 RPM. Estimated prop slip is excessive at @ 21% (still need a GPS number to verify but we know we are close). Curious as to whether folks are getting 4 blades to work or going 5 blades. Thanks.

15 1/4X32 maximus's is what I run. ( worked by bblades, turning in)
I have 32 bravo's also, and they're useless on this thing.
I ran a set of 31 P5X's last fall and they didnt seem
to carry the bow as well as the max's do.
The Max's knock off about 500 rpm over the bravo's
of comparable pitch.
The max's get the slip down in the 15% neighborhood.

I'm running Imco Neutral boxes with -2 shorties spinning 30p labbed bravo's by Bblades at 5100rpm's
Of course totally different boats and HP. IMO a little slip is good it saves your drives.

Lol! When my buddy said how much HP Brad Smith got out of his 500's some of us started a pool on when he would shuck the first drive (actually, he has gone through 3 already in 300 hours with stock power). I said he would shuck one filling up at the gas station before the shakedown cruise!

Which boxes are you running? Imco or Stellings? I'm guessing if your running Imco Neutral box then your prop height is too deep for 5 blades, but again I'm not comparing HP or boats.

Prop shaft height is in the 3" neighborhood.
I juiced mine up back in 09'...they're probably in the 650 hp
range
Turning in was worth a little over 1 mph, and it comes
out of the hole with less blow out.
I also have a nice collection of junk XR parts
