I'm waiting on my set too!! Can't wait!

do you feel any difference in attitude, so called stern lift , they, whoever they are say the more blades the more stern lift , do you think there is any truth to that ? also what rake are you using.

What's the cost on a set of these and does Herring stand behind them if you throw a blade or is it on the buyer?

They have a 21 degree rake.
Hering does stand behind the product, I had a conversation with Ben and Jeff that left me feeling confident.
These props will produce more stern lift. Ben gave me some pointers.

Well, I have had the boat out three times with the new props and all in all a success.
The feel of the boat is very different, very solid feeling.
Better on plain for sure, still not great but that is the high x dimension obviously.
Mid range speeds are amazing.......this past weekend I did a poker run and on the second leg (so still a lot of fuel) with 5 people in the boat at 4100rpm GPS bounced from 72 - 73 mph, unreal.
I am not getting the rpm on top end however, best is just over 4900rpm and it is 91mph. (on another thread I made a typo and put 4600).......I am not going to send the props back as I do not want to mess with the possibility of screwing up the mid-range. No rush but when I can i want to run with just me and a lot less fuel to see what "my" reggie number is.

Oh and the most important part is.......they look cool!!! haha

They DO look cool. Are you running short drives with them? What power do you have?

2009 35 Lightning does 91MPH??? What's up with that? Sounds 10MPH slow, at least. What was the factory number?
