Sharrow Props
 

Anyone ever purchase these, run them, and can provide feedback?

I am repowering a 35ft Marlago Center Console (Similar to a 36 Cigarette hull) - Twin 400s. Not looking to be the fastest boat, will most likely run 65mph top end, but I don't want to lose top end either. Boat is light, Nida-core coring, pad bottom.

Boat ran into the 50s with twin 250 2 stroke Mercs. Was told 54mph top end but I only put 2 hours on it with old setup.

It’s interesting that for all they claim these props do that there really isn’t any feedback anywhere on them.

I’ll be interested to hear if the group has any feedback. Not that I’m springing for a set (unless the performance is worth it and the price has come down from where they were initially priced)

There has been quite a few article on boatest.com. The reports are pretty impressive regarding planning speed, midrange and GPH. Price of entry is high, but. Over the lifetime of a boat they could easily pay for themselves.

You have a point.... Boats will last a life time if you take care of them.
But I'm not going to spend $11,000 only to wait 17.6 years to break even.

Now that they are moving toward having standard sizes and the props are being manufactured at Yamahas large prop facility. I see the price of entry coming down. I've also read that several boat manufacturers are now offering these props as factory options, so the cost is just part of the boat payment.

Talked to them at the miami show a few years ago...they have no interest in the hi perf market

$11k is that accurate?

That’s a bit short-sighted because if there were true MPH gains here a pair of new props would be relatively inexpensive compared to what so many of the people on this site will spend on upgrades in the pursuit of performance.

Some years ago they advertised their stainless steel prop being $9,000 and they're aluminum at $5,000 a pop.
If you go to their website. They are asking $5,000 for each prop. Not sure if that's stainless steel or aluminum. But I would need two making it $10,000. $700 in tax, the rest in shipping. $11,000

Seaford,

The props have to be able to handle the HP before they can render more speed. These props are designed with the commercial market in mind, where the props are turning a lot more regularly, and that cost of entry can be regained within a reasonable life cycle.

Thanks. Brad.
