I hear ya man. There is a market for 5 Blades. They are awesome....
But most newbies say $hit, for $2500 bucks I can get 2 MPH.
That is a allot of JACK when you grow up....
I make 6 digits a year, and will never pay EXTRA for a lab prop trying to experiment for that 2 or 3 MPH.
I have in my past, I wish I had my cash back.
People like THROTTLE UP (who is the best) do great things for folks.
I will spend my money else where.
Just like I would not spend $6K on CMI's..... for 3 MPH on a tested and proven Merc Product.
You know how much GREY GOOSE THAT MONEY WOULD BUY?

Yes, the 5 blades are almost a must on cats running high x's to get on plane. When I bought them last spring they were for the purpose of better planing, mid-range and handling... definitely not to gain 2 mph on top, I actually lost a few, but the other benefits far out weighed the loss. I've been down that road also, labbing and dumping a bunch of money to gain 2 mph. It's a waste of time and money. It's painful enough to visit the gas pump...
