Anybody have any experience with this prop? I'm thinking of putting a 25p on my Magic cat to see if I can get it to stay on plane at a lower speed for skiing and boarding. Normally I run a 28 or 32 Bravo and it won't go slow enough for boarding. Any experience or comments about this prop would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Brian,
I had a high five on an 18ft runabout with an Alpha drive for years. I loved the prop. Good bite and an excellent prop for skiing and boarding. They also provide some stern lift to help planing.

Hi 5 props don't have a lot of blade area. Might not work so good on a heavy boat like yours. They do work great on smaller under powered boats. Try and borrow or rent one before you buy.
