when i called shrogren they said it ran high 98 100 that boat should easily hit 107+ with a 6 blade youl get a easy 5 to 6 mph gain the imco should be able to hold up with the 6 blades

Something is not set up correctly then. 5 Blade herings are fine. It should run low 100's fairly easy with tab in it. Do you know who put the motors and drives back in that boat?

5 blades are good for a 600 boat we bought new props for ours and were still playing around with them too get us in the 100 mph but the 5 blades just dont turn enough water the boat with 700s needs bigger prop

It will not make a 5-6mph difference.

Mine is not an OL but I have staggered 700hp with Bravo style SCX drives and I have no trouble running 110+ with 5 blade props.

That is not true...the difference from a 5-6 is not that huge...mid range maybe, not top end...

Dan is right, you're not seeing a 5-6mph difference on top end from a 5 to a 6...maybe midrange, but not top end...he should have no issue with the 5 blades....the stern lift from the 6...there's other factors at play here, not props...unless the pitch is totally off, if he's saying the same speed at 4500-5000...something's not right...

...something is not right.... thats what we know.Boat has 36 Herings on it.We never run 98!!! The best was 95. And believe it we are not beginners.
