Yes the tabs are all the way down and the drives are tucked in. It starts to break loose at about 3000 rpm and will co right to the limiter if i let it. I was thinking about getting hering 5 blade props.

Get the Herrings not only will you plane off better but you will aslo pick up a couple miles per hour top end and ussually a lot in the cruise range. For not try not putting your taps all the way down. I find that all the way down tends to make them more like water breaks and can hold you back. You could also maybe add some weight in the bow to keep it lower as you plane off. Those are just temporary tell you get your new props.

the boat has 28" centers the ratio is 1.5 and has extention boxes also. I had 32 normal bravos on it first and it did a bit better but I could hit the limiter to easy.
