I am going to predict, you will be happy. Mezmerized by the quiet power, momma is going to love it and fuel mileage is a fixin to go through the roof.
I just have one more repair to make on the V (Bradford is so right, it never ends), meanwhile the honey-do list is shrinking at the same time. Win-Win Add another win putting some slime on the deck.

I made it to the lake to try Ferman's 21P High Five prop. It is on plane in an instant and will stay on plane down to 11 MPH with two people on board so it wins in that department. It isn't as efficient as the 21P Thunderbolt 3 blade but it is real close. Top end was 44 and MPG of 7.1 at 3500 RPM running 26 MPH. The biggest difference is noticed in the mid-range punch. It was very smooth. I never ran the jack plate up, it was just an easy cruise for the most part.

The High Five hit the limiter harder than the other 21P. It started cutting out cylinders (not so soft either) but that is with trim.
