Both the Cleaver and the High 5 are not bow-lifting props as compared to a big ear prop like a Laser II or Tempest Plus. Your two props are similar but different: The High 5 is a top notch smooth ski prop, the Cleaver is a light weight tunnel boat prop. Neither one are bow-lifting props. You need a bow-lifting 3-blade big ear prop if you want to go faster. You'll have to try about 50 props to find the 'magic' prop though Try some big ear 3 blades and some Trophy props, see what happens. I dont know much about the newest props that are out. There's some new props getting a lot of hype lately.
