In my experience every boat is a bit different. One prop is optimum on one hull and not another. If your prop guy is willing to let you "try" differnet props, I would really consider it.

In my case, I just put on a tank and jump in the water and switch'em dockside. Prior to the tank, I used the old "hold your breadth method". Crude but it works. I would go down with several sets of wheels, swap them out and take her for a ride, jot down some notes and try another set.

If you don't do it yourself, consider a diver for a few hours.

Last, whats the price on Five Bladers by you? I have had a few inquires recently and the pricing has been over the top to say the least. You would have to do considerable amount of running to recoup the cash outlay.

Just my 2cents.
