highfive props

Captainkip · 05-09-2008, 12:33 PM

Anyone used a highfive prop on a 115 motor? I have a johnson 115 fast strike and would like to try the highfive. Anyone have any info?

i put a stainless 4 blade on a 18 foot boat with a 115 merc, got a better hole shot some say not to put the hi five on smaller motors others say yeah, the 4 blade was a 17 pitch worked well, hope that helped a bit they are pricy thats for sure good luck

Can you order one online? Somebody have site adress? $1000 is regular price, $750 at show. Should have taken one with the boat at $650. Would be thinking about 500 bucks online as it is usually cheaper.

Ctakip:

the high fives likely have too much rotating mass for that small of an engine. Rule of thumb is 150hp and over.

check out shipwreck marine in edmonton. they sell the high five props for cheap. also suggest your try a sting ray. its a fin you put on the leg of your motor and it gets you up onto plain faster. great product. we have had one on our boats for the last 18 years and highly recomend them.

I've looked at the Stingray and heard mixed reviews on it's success. What boat/motor are you running yours on?

I bought my boat at shipwreck, could have gotten a high five at the time for $650 but went for the cheaper alum 19 pitch($200), original was a 21 pitch. Also have shipwrecks fin on the leg, boat planes at about 19-20 but trying to plane sooner for the kids. High five is next step, I'm just having a hard time justifying the cost.

I have a high five prop. Yep their pricey but I think they're well worth the money.

I had a 16 foot side winder 140 with just plan old prop but i put the fin on from Cabelas (they are on line) what a difference hole shot awsome and planed very quicklyi think it was only couple hundred bucks

Thanks for the advise, just to be clear, are you talking Trim Tabs?

The one I have is a gull wing hydrofoil, not sure it did much. Need another boat same as mine to compare, heard the sting ray is better, to bad I already had the gull wing drilled on.
