Staggered 35 Owners?
Who on here has a staggered 35 Lightning?
After thinking about it for a considerable amount of time I finally decided to downsize from a 47 back to a 35.
I have only had it out once and I can already see it will take some getting use to.
The main thing I can see so far, besides getting use to the space, is getting use to getting it on plane.
Staggered 35 with 525's and Herring 6 blade 32 pitch props, anyone else have this problem?

time to plane with herring 6 blades is a bit of a struggle for a stag 35 you need to use tabs to help. if you change your wheels pitch you can make your time to plane faster and you will loose some top end... 7 blades may help not sure

Tabs right down, throttle up until the props break loose, rpm will shoot to about 3500rpm and then start bringing the tabs up slowly, you will get used to it.......I went from a 42 down to the 35 and it was a little getting used to for me as well.
I have had 5 blade maximus, labbed and non, 6 blade herings and now 7 blade herings, getting on plain with the 7 blades is really no different then the 6, if so, marginal at best. mid range was a HUGE difference and gained a lot. I can only get 5020-5040rpm at WOT but at that rpm getting the same top end as the 5 blade maximus at 5250rpm so I am satisfied.
I am not going to send them into Hering as I do not want to risk losing the mid range gain......I am very happy with them and would recommend for sure.
Good luck;

He said he was having a hard time getting used to the lack of space so I simply offered another alternative. Going from a 47 to a 38 is still a considerable downsize.

Believe the point here is that you own neither. Therefore the advise is somewhat moot. No offense, but the guy is looking for some real world feed back.

Not really, have owned both, the only time you notice a difference is in rough water. Docking, trailering, ect. they are about the same.
