do you feel any difference in attitude, so called stern lift , they, whoever they are say the more blades the more stern lift , do you think there is any truth to that ? also what rake are you using.

They have a 21 degree rake.
Hering does stand behind the product, I had a conversation with Ben and Jeff that left me feeling confident.
These props will produce more stern lift. Ben gave me some pointers.

Well, I have had the boat out three times with the new props and all in all a success.
The feel of the boat is very different, very solid feeling.
Better on plain for sure, still not great but that is the high x dimension obviously.
Mid range speeds are amazing.......this past weekend I did a poker run and on the second leg (so still a lot of fuel) with 5 people in the boat at 4100rpm GPS bounced from 72 - 73 mph, unreal.
I am not getting the rpm on top end however, best is just over 4900rpm and it is 91mph. (on another thread I made a typo and put 4600).......I am not going to send the props back as I do not want to mess with the possibility of screwing up the mid-range. No rush but when I can i want to run with just me and a lot less fuel to see what "my" reggie number is.
Oh and the most important part is.......they look cool!!! haha
