I have some 31 herring 5 blades going to run them sunday. Let you no soon how they work.

The boat ran flawless. Much more stable and pulled almost as good as the 5 bades. Ran 5600rpms at 111mph. 31 pitch 5 blade herrings no diffuser ring that is 8% slip not bad . I guess my thoughts were right, I gained almost 4mph from 6 to 5 blades. More Data testing to come. I am going to try a few more props incuding the bravo 1 32 pitch and also some 4 blade herrings.

Yours have extension boxes? Do all the staggered 525's run the ex. boxes?? Or are some with & some without?

Seems like those 5 blades are right on. Don't the Zuls spin to 6K? BTW what is the rebuild interval on the Zuls?
