Gettin Throttled UP !!!!!
I ordered a set of Throttle Up 5 blade CNC props for my 32' with 300 X's. I am very excited about trying them out. From what I have heard from some reliable folk that the performance gains I may enjoy should be pretty damn good.
I just wanted to say that Julie from Throttle Up is extremely knowledgable and has been nothing but a pleasure dealing with up till this point. Very cool people !! Hopefully within a week or so I'll be able to report back to you all some good news !!! |
Hey BIG Daddy let us know the news ...
ITS A SKATER NATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

P.S. The difference from 4 to 5 blades is fantastic, the 5 Blades feel like a sewing machine they are so smooth |
TZ what are you currently using for wheels (before you tried the herrings)?? What sppeeds do you see with the XS's ??
|
Do you have a # for those guys, I've been thinking about a set of 4-blades & would like to talk to someone about them.
|
The # is 727-531-2255.
|
I've been running 15x31 4 blades (32's cut to 31) and have had the best results. I've seen a best of 94.8mph with these props and the 300XS's. I know there is more speed in it once I play with engine heights. I'm having the new props made with a 15.25 diameter which should allow me to come up another 1\8 inch.

they also sent me a photo - As you know, I am thinking about doing the same thing. Do you have good baseline data for the current props? Would you post the current data? Once you have a chance to run the new props, would you post the new data? Frank F. |

Did they offer you an exchange program ?? Hydromotive will keep sending you props until you find something that works . I think these 5 blade are only going to offer outstanding acceleration but slower at WOT

see posts 228 on under" my new 2007 30 skater" for more real world info from people who have just won world championships using these props
|
I have about 10 props I tried on my race boat , Bravo one , bravo one B-blade labbed , Hydromotive quad 4 , quad 4 labbed , quad 4-x , 5 blade Hydromotive . Sorry to ruffle your feathers Cupcake !! Just posting my results that I have lived
|
Blah Blah Blah... did you read the posts?..... I've never seen anyone say un labbed props are better than labbed ones you sound like the Geico Caveman! Did you read the part about how the guy that won both the dubai class 3 championship and the guy who won the Australian championship both use these props?have you ever tried these props?I would guess no . The props you listed are not even in the same league with these. So if you have never tried them, dont even know who makes them, your giving an opinion on something you know nothing about. .......Case closed !
|
Oh , they must be the all the time best if he won !! All I'm saying some MFG of props have tighter tolerencesthan others ,and I have had box stock props out perform other MFG labbed props !!! I hope he does see a big increase !!! Sorry to get your Panties in a Bunch !!

Thank you for clearing that up Sunshine !!! How much are they ???? From my exp with more blades , it only can help you when you have high slip # . I have found more blades = more drag if your slip # is low
|
why don't you read the post i mentioned i think that will help to clear up any mis info you might have !:D Happy to help !
|
I got my tracking # and I'll have these bad boys tomorrow just in time for the weekend !! Lookining forward to this Memorial Weekend for sure. Temps will be close to 80 with no rain all weekend !!!
Its a Skater Nation !!!! |

Larry As soon as I can get on the boat with one of my boys and shake the wife and kids for a few hours I plan to really document the differences between the 2 sets. |

These props are 14.50 x 30P 5B. I have worked pretty tight with Matt and Julie and sent an extensive set of pics of my set up. Changed a few things the way they told me to so first thing tomorrow I'll give it a shot. I'll be sure to let you know how it works out !!
