I'll be interested in what you find out. Right now, running P5Xs and always wondered how Herrings would compare. Just didn't want to pay for them without testing.

What boat are you running? Stock drive height? Power?

I also have a pair of 30" P5X Hydros and would be interested in knowing the outcome vs the Herrings. Thanx

Always wanted to test the Herrings, but have never seen on a trial program. That's why I rely on those that have them to give us information. Anyone have any actual data?

We sll and modify and repair both brands.

Literally every application is different and performance data from any "identical" boat can only be used as reference. I have seen Labbed Hydro's faster than Herings and vise versa on so called identical boats. Drive heights, rotation, CG, loads, water conditions, etc. etc. and driver knowledge and goals all play into the end result.
