Hi
Pretty well up on the dynamics and black art of prop selection these days (or as much as one can be in this unpredictable minefield), but I'm seeking the experiences and general thoughts and even educated guesses of the forum.
I'm fortunate enough to have a really dialled in prop set up with minimum slip, but this year I'm hoping to get back into a bit of watersports, specifically wakeboarding and waterskiing.
Therefore I am looking for opinions or experienced based comments on the worth of a high 5 prop on the boat. For those not in the know, it's a 5 bladed prop specifically designed for watersports. I'm wondering how much top end I will loose and if I could ideally just use that all season as an all rounder, without too much compromise.
Any thoughts ? Would love to hear from users with sports boats or from anyone with an opinion.
Thanks.
