Patrick,
I lived and boated in NJ, barnegat Bay area, all of my life until 2002, and I do miss some things about NJ boating;however, the water, the beaches, the islands, the marine life, it is pretty amazing down here.
Check out some of the pics I have taken at http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...149139&page=13
Any side by side comparission data on the props?

As far as comps I did nothing formal at all. I can tell you for sure the boat is quicker of the go like a bat out of hell, drives much smoother and fealt noticeably faster. I will hopefully soon get a day and do a true recording of all the speeds at different RPMs with both sets .
One thing I noticed that I did not before was the porpoise like action the boat did at around 4 to 4200 rpms and 70 to 74 MPH. I never noticed this before with the 3 blades.
I am new to this type of performance so any info you guys could share on what I was noticing is greatly appreciated. What causes it ? Should I be trying to trim out of it ?? Thanks in advance.

X-choke , what pitch were your 3 blades and what are the 5 blades ? I knew for sure they would be much quicker but is mid range cruise MPH better or worse than before ? How much were they ?

New set are - 14.50 x 30P 5 Blade Throttle Up CNC ($1850 per)
I can only report by feeling for now as I did not properly document but I honestly feel the new blades out perform the others in EVERY aspect. I have no tie to Throttle Up other then being a 1 time customer, but to me feel it was the best money I have speant on my boat to date.
