Slip numbers on the Pro Max 26 are really high. Would having it worked help? If so, who does the best work on Pro Max props?

11% slip right?
i ran my 26 92.9 @6550 last night and my 28 97.1 @ 6350 the other day. I haven’t pushed my 30 but my last numbers on it were 97 @ 5890. So all the ones I have are real low slip. The 27 I had was as well. Even when I had less setback.
Did you buy yours new? Just curious as all the ones I have run have all had low slip numbers. Craig is sending his 28 to me next week. It has a flair ring. Interested to see if that prop has low slip numbers as well.
Want to try my lab 26?

Robbie at Propeller Dynamics is tough to beat for my 2 Promax props.

My two Bravos were worked by Robbie and are WAY better than stock.

So What do I tell him I need done?
I just told him what boat I have and what I wanted for the result.

So, I ran the Hydromotive Quad IV OT today. Didn't get to stretch it out to windy but, it does not seem to have the bow lift the Pro Max does. Is this the same experience everyone else has with the Hydro compared to the pro max?
Promax is a great prop I have found. Try a 28

I don't care if it's a bow lifting or not. I just want one that runs well with a heavy load........lol Never ran one before found one so I grabbed it. Seems to run like a Drag IV. Just checking to see make sure what I was experiencing was the same as everyone else. I definitely have been keeping an eye out for a 28 Pro Max. Every time I find a used one for sale it gets bought before I get to it. I was going to run one this past Sunday that a guy in North Florida had but, I had to work. I have been running that 26 Pro max for so long now I like the way it runs and handles. I need to give this Hyrdo chance and run it for a few weeks and get use to it before I decide if I like it or not.
Acceleration shouldn’t change much and just a touch more bog, +4-6 mph is what 28 promax should net you

Yes I am sending Geoff my 28P Promax prop to test to see if he feels the same way I do about it. I had a larger than normal flare ring welded on and it has dual PVS holes. It comes out of the hole better than any other Promax I've tried and actually better than my 28P XOB. Very little bow rise with no over revving.
