signature sl5 prop vs hydromotive p5x ??
Does anyone have any thoughts or anecdotal data between these two props? I can't find, like, any information from anyone who has used one. I tried a p5x last year and it really got my slip numbers down and seems to get the boat out of the water a little better. But what was on the boat when I got it was a 26P Bravo 1 - which I could spin to the rev limiter and had pretty high slip, especially mid range. Boat seemed to drag in the water as well. So, I tried a 25P p5x (went down a pitch since adding a blade) but at full load I could back off throttle and I was still hitting the rev limiter, engine just wanted to spin it. So, I need more pitch.
But my biggest concern with the sl5 is that the diameter is bigger (15 11/16 vs 15 of the p5x) and I'm not sure how that will change the response from my boat. trying to compare the blade design side by side they look pretty darn close. I have a 575sci with a superchiller and small pulley on an Advantage Victory 28 MCOB - the thing runs great. Big heavy wide boat not build for speed, but that engine will sure spin the prop - it does whine about it though :p |
I can't really answer your question but I do have a left 27p p5x I will sell cheap. Jeff wurl |
