P5X's - to lab or not to lab?

[JasonSmith]

I have some & they are growing on me. What do you think about labbing them?

Hey JS,

They can be Labbed to gain acceleration, smoothness and about 150 rpm. More than that they loose efficiency. The results are good not great if top speed is the main concern. If added stern or bow lift is needed, the results can be better.

I have always loved the smoothness and throttle response that comes from Labbing. These are the results not always talked about.

Hey, you have an e-mail from me about turn around time on my bravo 1's.
I got the P5X's traded for those Maximus wheels we talked about.
What do you think about cutting them down in diameter to get what I want? OR should I just stick with the bravo 1's for top end performance?

Yo,

Yes I got your email and as is the current situation, I am slightly behind.

First, Thanks for all your input and support!

We have a lead time right now at 2.5 weeks.

We should be able to pull the additional 150-200 rpm out of the 28's but of course seeing the props first is impairtive. Their backround is the determining factor. Stick to the B1's for now and let's see if we can get the 5300 mark and the big number.

The Max's are a great move too. See where you are and we can go from there.
