To maximize the performance of the six blades the boat needs to be set-up for them, or, you want a prop to stay hooked up in rough water conditions. You will find the six blades to be an excellent rough water prop, even on boats with low X dimensions.

To get the max speed and performance, however the X dimension needs to be raised higher than it would be for a 5 blade prop. Usually about 1/2" higher. We will be testing the sets we have through the winter.

If anyone has a boat that can turn a 32 or 33 pitch 5 blade and is interested in testing these props give us a call.

Hey Julie...quick question. I know it varies, but on average, how much reduction is there in slip between 4 5 and 6 blade props?

Julie and Matt,

Thank you for a great job dialing us in and getting our SCL to be competitive out of the box. We are looking forward to a great year in 2004.
