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.

They arent designed to be surfaced or even semi surfaced. They might work on something old with really low X Dimensions still running mirages or even cleavers(think TRS)....but for 90% of the boats built with bravo drives, according to sharrow themselves, they wont work.
Cool design though. Nice people as well.

All hype, dogs up top.

Hey Hogie - kind of what I was figuring. These would be for a Center Console 35 Marlago - top speed 70mph. More of a fishing / lifestyle boat than a speed / performance boat.

REV4s would be a great starting point.

Thanks Johnny.

Justin I have 2 sets for my gts if you want to test it out before you buy. I will be at the barn tomorrow and let you know what props they are.

I know, you text me :D

Hi Frick on different note I just bought a 21 Challenger hull to restore this spring. What are you doing with the 250 2 strokes ? Rick G .

That's just the thing! The ONLY place you see ANY sort of review or feedback is from the boat rags that...drum roll...are being PAID by the manufacturer via advertising. I've never seen a normal human review the damned things...which is extremely suspicious. They need to put their money where their mouth is...send 100 props out randomly to different parts of the country and say, "give us your honest opinion, give us REAL WORLD numbers insofar as comparison on speed, rpm, fuel consumption, hole-shot, top end, and holding power in turns.

Cool Frick. Message when you are going to list. Are these 25 inch shaft or 30 inches . Cheers Rick G .

Will do, 25" shaft length.

Rick,

I can't PM
I have those engines off and posted them up for sale, I remember you saying you may be interested?

Are your steering hoses coming out the backside of the motor bracket?

Yeah, right on center. On the backside (outside, rear of transom):

The very concept of their prop design is higher performance.

Not to mention the race winning car on Sunday is what sold on Monday.

Totally not serious company in my view.

Tried to reach out to sharrow a number of times about Any upcoming powerboat applications or trials and never heard back.
