I am looking for prop suggestions for the following setup: (if you haven't seen it yet, lol)

Mystic C5000 M 114cm (45")
2x Neu 1521 1.5d
2x Castle Hydra Ice 33.6v
2x 5s 5000 or 2x 6s 5000

I have been recommended the x447 from someone (dropps) with a similar setup. I would like to get some PropShop props, the 5 blade ones particularly. I really like the looks of those. Which ones would be the best for my setup? Perhaps one pair for a bit rougher water and one pair for good conditions/speed.

457's cut to 453 and worked over good would be for great speeds and 447's would be great for some wave jumping. The 447's are easy to get here at OSE if you wait a while. While the others would have to be from a forum vendor or Andy Brown "CMDracing". That is going to be a fun boat. Not too big but still crowd drawing for sure. Be careful with it.

I'll get a pair of the 447s for when there's chop :) I've heard a lot about the Andy Brown props. I was kinda more interested in the PropShop 4/5 blade props. Not only do they look good, I think they perform pretty well also.

It's looking good and I can't wait 'till summer to get it in the water. I think the size is perfect for me, at least right now. What do you mean by "be careful with it," haha. Don't scare me! ;)

You will find people sometimes have those aluminiums only for show. I have seen them even use two of the same rotation props just due to there being hardly any sizes available. Most still use 2 blades 3 at most simply because remember we are still only using surface drives, not submersed.

Not sure if Prop shop is doing much. I remember trying to get in contact and not much doing. I would LOVE a set of 65mm counter rotating 4bladers to show off on my ct04

Yeah I've seen them on the large cats and I've always wanted those props. They look really nice, but maybe that's it. I guess I'll just get the 2 pairs made really nicely. I wanna get them polished and have the stainless steel look, whatever that's called.

The CT04 looks like an amazing boat! I'd love to have one of them one day.
