    Max 5 ST /300R

    Guys that are running max 5s on the 300R what are you guys running for slip numbers? I gotta order one and i'm thinking either a 29,29.5 or a 30p.

    Hows your holeshot with a 30? and what you get for speed.

    May I suggest you reach out to Circle D Boats, Beaumont TX, I exchanged a few emails with them about props and the max5... They were not very high on the Max5, they suggested Herring props designed by them as being better than the Max5. When ordering my XRS/300R (2022 model) Tom wasn't able to obtain Herring props only Mercury. At the time I was emailing Circle D the cost of their Herring props were approx. $3000 - $3500.

    The hole shot is excellent even with livewells full. I run 91-93 alone and 88-90 with my partner. I’ve never ran it light for a big number.
