Steve, The QIV-X has been around for a few years. My buddy has one on his Rage. Just an FYI, it works OK but has quite a bit less bow lift than a Bravo even though more bow lift is it's intent.
Dave Thanks for the heads up. Since it's here in town on a friend's boat, I will still try it for comparison purposes. I will probably end up with a 5 blade, as usual. Regards, Steve |

I tried a QIV-X when I originally tested the P5X. It did not work at all on the Heat. Lost about 5 mph, not nearly enough bow lift.
Ouch! Do you still have your 29" P5-X, or did it go with your Heat? Regards, Steve |
It went with the Heat. Wish I had a pair of them for my 35. I think that would really improve cruise.

Question: How do you think boat weight plays a part in prop depth in relation to the water and prop slip?
ie. two Nordic Heat's with the same x-dimension. One weighs 10,000 lbs. the other weighs 100 lbs. The heavy boat would have the prop deeper in the water than the light boat. The light boat would now have a prop that was mostly in the air, making slip very high. The light boat would have less drag for sure because less boat was in the water, but the slip would be really high because the prop was so high. I think that changing the prop depth with shorties or spacers has something to do with weight also. Chris |
