I'm experimenting with thru hubs for the extended housing lift because of the extra weight of the 3.2's over the 2.5's
I'm trying 5 blades for the better slip numbers.
My vented Bravo 32's stall for about 5 seconds and then snap loose, the rpms go 5000ish and the boat leaves hard.
The 5 blade long hubs I tried were not vented and the stall time was way longer, they didn't break loose till almost on a plane.
Venting them should cure that but they are borrowed props.
I was looking for some transom lift not the amount I got.
The only over hubs I own are an old set of 34 humpbacks, they break loose early, smoothly, and carry the boat well.
I have not tried any late model over hubs.Wriggleys gum makes me think of boating, "Double your engines, Double your fun"

I have a pair of 32 4 blade thru hub herings that you are welcome to try. I have never run them "I bought them to use when the boat is over loaded (4 people on board)". I also have a set of 34 Dewalds that I will be using on my skater. Both sets are yours to try if you wish. The only thing that I ask is that if they are damaged then they are replaced. Dan has some 5 blade stuff that is working well on the DW28 and there is a set of top secret props that he is still waiting on.
