04 35 EX 496 boat,I believe the boat is were it needs to be as far as top speed,I was just bored over the winter and thought I would play with the props,lol
Glad I did ,like the ride the 5 blades have to offer,
a lot of people on here as well as facebook claim they get 80-82 out of their 35 EX with same power,but I have asked for somebody to make me a believer and proof it to me with a video while they are doing 80-82 but so far nobody has,LOL!

Their prices seem to be very reasonable for a new prop. Waiting to hear the performance of the SL-4.

Sorry to use the thread here, but...…..Cary look at these here compared to mine, in the same park.

My 5 blades are alleged to be one offs, Turbo - SQOXP 155030, BBlades labbed #1842 and #1843.
Basically a fat eared 15.50 X 30 5 blade with an average length tube and no flare that made several trips back for work. Last trip added the tip cup to the tip of the blades. You need to call Brett about his 4 and 5 Speeds maybe with the extended tube.

The Sage has spoken! Get Busy.
