Looks nasty in all White...VERY Nice!

Hey Noli, Are you there in person. What are the dimension of the props. Im real curious about the rake they're using. Any numbers yet. Gotta get 120mph plus for sure.

Muhahaha, I am also very interested in the size of the props as well Steve

from the Facebook pics, I tot I thaw a 35" pitch? Not sure because I don't know where Hering stamps their pitch size number

This might be a stupid question but is the Hering logo actually cut out of the prop? I ask this because everyone is soooooo concerned about the most minute details when labbing a prop, and then they go honk their name out of it?? I would think that would create a lot bigger disturbance than some of the other blemishes ive seen people concerned about when it comes to props.

it is an acid wash.
no effect on the blades.

The blades look very similar to my 5 blades from mercury. Except mine are not thru hub. They are over the blade/hub exhaust.

Nastybug...your props are very similar. You have Maximus ST OB props never had any experience with those. What diameter, rake and pitch are you running on your boat?

Your props also have a hub whereas the Hering's do not.

Hey Kap, The props I ended up with were Prototypes set to come out to the public in roughly 10 months. They are over the hub CNC 33 inch pitch 15 inch diameter with 13 degrees of rake. They worked awesome on my rig. Im new to this but Ive researched a bit and found that it may have helped to have a bit more rake on the props so the bow carried better. The boat requires a decent amount of positive trim when running top end. If I could direct that force straight back I could get a few. There is not a huge rooster behind it so I'm not losing that much if any. My boat probably weighs 1000lbs more than the DW 32. Its big for sure with the 10 inch addition to the beam. It may just be the way the boat needs to run. The guys at Mercury racing were awesome and obviously very knowledgeable. They thru everything they had at it. It needed 5 blades being that no 4 blade worked great. Im gonna speak with Dave Dewald in the summer and see what he thinks but in my case there may be nothing left. I would have loved to run a set of 34s just to see what happened but the 33s were custom and they do not have a lot of extras layin around for that. Only one other set that were 14.5 inch diameter I think that they ran on my boat before they went back and made them with the 15 inch diameter. Any body looking for extra speed should try them for sure when they are available as they are new and cutting edge.

Nice boat by the way. Love that pleasure boat Poker Run Edition. Runs great too. Cant wait to here these new figures should be impressive I would think.


Also slip was 8% with the motors at 2 inches above the bottom. It was 5 % when they were a bit lower but acceleration was better up higher so we left it that way.
