I remember when the x-dimension was done...i don't remember if it was superboat or falcon that actually cut it, but i do remember them setting it pretty high...thought it was 1.5 above standard height.

And, I believe 5 - 5-1/2" below is where Jcap had his best results...

I would imagine that the more blades you have the more stern lift.
My only experience running a 5 blade was with OH-Zone's P5-X and that prop did definitely lift the stern more than a Bravo 1. I also felt that the P5-X lifted the whole boat out of the water more than a B1.
Hey OH-Zone, did you try that Maximus yet?

Pat, $1400.00 is a lot of $ to buy a used prop that I cannot exchange if it does not work out. For some reason it is killing me to try a 5 blade again, even though the 1st time I lost top end.

Pat;
I did try the prop. It was too much prop, thats why I didn't sent it to you. Awesome cruse though I couldnt't get the engine over 4700-4800 without overtriming it with speeds in the low 70's. Lots of blade area on that prop and carried the boat nicely. Brett suggested a smaller diameter....
