What RPM's are you getting out of the 34's?

28 lab lightining et's work great with a load. I have 30 3 bladed cleavers and the et's are better in heat and under load.

For a closed bow, stay with the four blade...they help with the stern lift...the three blades help with bow lift and I need it with the OB. If you are turning 34's with light loads; you might get on plane with a 32, but it won't be the most responsive prop with load....I would try a 30 and then 28....28 is going to be very responsive.

I have 30's and really like the way they run...
The other day when the heat 125 plus, I had two full tanks, 4 full ice chest and 6 people with a easy up and 6 lawn chairs.... It was work to get her over, but it still ran 96 in the heat..
they are 4 blade 14 1/2 X 30 clevers.... I think they are very good all around props...

the hubs he has are small shaft but can be replaced,when i first got my 300 i had the smal shaft and when i blew my lower i upgraded to the new fatter shaft and just got the hub kit at dcb, knock 1 out, put the new one in. that $ is for the pair
