On a friends 32 skater with 575's he went from 34-36"B1's with 15-18% slip to the 34" maximus and picked up better planing and midrange and at 100mph dropped about 400rpm but no top end try yet. Loves the feel of the boat much better. His drives are 1 1/2" above the sponsons.

Rich,
You will never know untill you try a set.The recomended 5 bladed props for your boat according to Merc. are 15.5 32 labs,part #48-889970L64 and 48-889971L64.They can be returned and swapped for a 5 percent charge.I was going to try them,but got tired of changing props and just went with the Herings which have been proven to work on the Gladiator.
