Great read thanks for posting!
Actually Boat Test praises this prop pretty extensively and their conclusion said this….
“After our testing and driving the boat with all three props, our conclusion is the following. The Sharrow Propeller™ —
Performs significantly better at idle
Plans at a lower RPM
Is faster at all RPM settings
Gets significantly more mpg at 3000 and 3500 RPM
Is more fuel efficiency at every speed-through-water setting
Is as much as 18% more fuel-efficient at 26-28 MPH
Produces the highest top speed
Creates noticeably less vibration
Is generally quieter
Has superior handling in tight turns at high-speed
Improves handling in reverse
Provides the greatest range at all speeds”
Their results are actually very close to what Sharrow has posted on their performance reports.
I’m impressed but not enough to be the first to try!
