I am running old,old mercs 4 blades on a single #5 with a 32 foot boat and 750 HP.

Found that i have 16 % prop slip , but still no damage or anything wrong with the prop.

The funny thing is they say SUMMIT on them .LOL

Herings good top end high slip #s at lower speeds.
Im running Mercs new 16.5x 38 @ 18 Degree rake.
1200 Hp rated and came with a year warranty.I have turned 40 pitch herings 500 rpm more with little top end gain.Just depends what your looking for.I like the warranty.
