wkrp Posted September 30, 2024 Report Posted September 30, 2024 Totally new prop design. Quite $$$$. Any one have first hand opinions?
BillM Posted September 30, 2024 Report Posted September 30, 2024 is this the 5k prop that looks like a Twizzler? 1
Fisherman Posted September 30, 2024 Report Posted September 30, 2024 No first hand experience other that there will be some that just have to have the new gadget.
craigdritchie Posted October 2, 2024 Report Posted October 2, 2024 It's hardly new ... it's actually been around since 2012. I've driven various boats with Sharrow props multiple times over the years. Yes, its works well. And yes, it's very, very expensive. Especially when you hit a rock. Worth it? How much do you spend in fuel every year? For 99% of Canadian fishermen, it would be very tough to justify. 1
AKRISONER Posted October 3, 2024 Report Posted October 3, 2024 (edited) in concept, i guess it could work...but honestly, what do i serve to gain by replacing my existing stainless prop? My boat is already fast, probably too fast when im alone in it, I guess some fuel efficiency? Man thats a lot of efficiency to make up for the difference in cost Edited October 3, 2024 by AKRISONER 1

Man thats a lot of efficiency to make up for the difference in cost Fuel efficiency is the primary benefit. It might make sense if you're a charter guy in Florida running trips 365..otherwise, it's a big investment to save a few pennies on gas.
