BBlades Maximus 32P 5 Blades on the way...
After speaking with Brett, I have decided to try out the BBlades Maximus 32P 5 Blade modified props. Based on our conversation, it should pick up 4-5mph in the midrange cruising area and hopefully get at least 2mph consistently on top end.
I have some decent numbers with the box stock Bravo I 32P, so I am anxious to try out the new Maximus props.
I will post the results once the props arrive.

It will be interesting to see what speeds you pick up over a stock Bravo. Are the Maximus' going to be stock also? I have heard the Maximus needs to be labbed to be efficient. I didn't get to try one, so I'll be interested in your results.

From what Brett and I discussed, the stock Maximus 32P would probably cost me 400-500rpms which in turn would reduce my top end by ~1-2mph.
He suggested having them labbed and the cutting down the diffuser ring to bring the rpms back up on top, so that is what I decided to go with.
The 3 week lead time is going to be tough!

We'll get them done and to you ASAP.
By the way, my 10 year old son loves your avatar. He told me all about that car and what it is capable of. I'm so proud.

I went from a labbed 28 b1 to a...... labbed(merc) 26 max 5 blade. Gained 5 mph cruising at the same rpm. lost 1 mph on the top end. same day testing, same weight, same water conditions, same driver, same tabs/drive position. Just be carefull, they have a lot of BITE so your drive might not be very happy if you WOT it without the boat up on plane.

Thanks for the warning. I normally just increase the throttles to around 3000rpms until the boat gets on plane, then begin to increase.

I'm not sure about the slip, but I'm sure labbing increases the slip.
