Sounds good John I'll let you know.

Well the 29 pitch P5X props are very nice, Got bow lift which is what I needed, got a great hole shot, and ran 77.8 gps but bounced rev limiter so going to try a set of 30-'s hopefully will see 80+mph soon. Also it handles better around the docks, I like that alot.

I'll have a set of 30 maximus you can try. They won't be labbed. I am thinking of using these for awhile until I can figure out exactly what I want with labbed 32s. Who knows, I may just stick with them for a long time. They cut a few mph off the top end but they are nicer for 0-60 and cruising.

These hit the limiter for me too, but I learned if I tuck the drives in a bit I come off the limiter and pick up a couple mph, just the opposite of what you would think. But with the high X we are running we really don't need much trim at all, unless you like to throw that nice rooster tail.
