I am rerigging txhawk's old 40, it will not have boxes anymore,
Standard 1.50 ratio bravo 1 drives and 590 flywheel hp hawk big blocks with small blowers.
What is a good prop for this hull? This one does have a notched transom. I was thinking a 26p bravo 1? Anyone have any thoughts or input?

I wasn't sure how/ if the boxes and p5x props worked together. Not sure if there was any cup in the props for lift ? If they would still work well without boxes?

With 600 HP, this boat will still haul the mail for an old 40.....with an 8 person party in progress! Dont forget Sara's yellow bikini!! Looking forward to seeing you, Sara and all her friends this summer......

I'm sure you are Kevin ...... I'll give him a call I just hate wasting someone's time, chances of me buying 2 brand new props is pretty slim lol

I am anxious to hear how it runs without the boxes. I think the boxes were almost giving it too much leverage some times, carrying the nose too much. I had 28 B1's on it when it had about 630HP. They were nearly too much. 26's should be great.

Agreed on the carrying the nose thing. I think the 5 blades may contribute also. Sounds like Jamie may have a nice, reliable set up...
