i have a 2022 30' phantom vee bottom, twin 300r motors. ive run 104mph with Dewald 5 blade over the hub props 32"x 15" x 17 degree rake @6400 rpms. ive run 96.8mph @6500rpms  with a set of standard looking 32" full barrel bravo 1s . what pitch Max 5s would you recommend and ST or standard Max 5? i do not need lift in the rear. i ran a set of hill signature 32" x 15.25 x 15 degree rake and the boat was not good 103 mph  6350 rpms. i would really like to buy a set of the 300hp cnc props. please help.

thank you ,

I would recommend the ST Max five if you don't need stern lift.   32 max fives if your able to turn the 32 pitch hill's.

I tested and bought a set of 34" Max 5 ST's  the boat ran 104 @ 6300-6400 rpms depending on trim slip I am very happy with that performance.  how much more performance would the CNC props give? i wonder what pitch in the CNC i would need, 33"? i would go with 18 degree rake. what diameter would be recommended ?

Awesome to hear how the Max 5's worked out.   I'm gonna turn this one over to @NickPetersen
