How do Hering speedmaster 6 blade props perform compared to 5 blades, why don't race teams use them if they are better.

I want to hear what the experts have to say on this.

On my 40 skater they raised the transom and lowered the nose causing it to bow steer.I ran it up to 136 then returned to the dock and put my 5 blades back on.They were horrible on my cat.

I've seen a few 46 Skaters run them, some OL's have run them, some fountains have run them............. There is some interesting reading in the prop talk section, and brett at bblades gives some pretty good info on 5 vs 6 blades....

42 fountains like em...
