I'm looking into a 5-Blade from mercury. Anyone have any real life testing with this prop?:confused:

Three blades are faster , but on big boats the holeshot is a joke, Cruising rpm's are higher (more fuel consumption), and the handling looser. Four blades have a good enough holeshot to break your drives, lower rpm's at midrange speeds, tight handling, only negative is a little speed shaved off the top end. So I have both!

5 blade Heirings on bravo or Imco drives are simply incredible. The acceleration, planing, second to none as of now. Got 36 pitch on my boat, super high X. An entirely new way of building boats, higher x, 5 blade prop, more speed, 4 blade bravos 32-36 simply don't work anywhere near the Heirings. I have never tested the Hydromotive 5 blades. Heirings are worth the $$.
Thanks, Dustin |
Have you tried the new merc 5 blades?

4-blade Bravo (30P) works for me.;)
