Sorry if the topic is revisited. Help me pick one. I currently have high alt prop.

I am going to run around 3300lbs.

I have the 335hp and live in VA Beach at sea level.

I can not find many reviews between them, hopefully you guys can chime in.

With or without the wedge?

Sorry I should have included that. I do have a wedge. I have a Vandall boat. I would like to continue to use it. Thank you for chiming in elc.

No problem... other than that I am no help. johnny on this site may have more info for you. He was also looking into the five blade and may have been able to track down some info.

Lol. Yah I have talked to John. We talked on the phone one day about his PNP setup. He wants to get a group buy for the five blades. I havent heard much more about it. There is a guy here named Mike with a A20 and he is getting about 45mph on a 335hp. Have not heard from anyone with it on a A22 though.

I have one on an a20- but my name is Matt. Top end is 41, although I really don't care about it as I don't have to travel from launch to riding area. I run the stock tanks, mushroom sac in bow, and 2x750's in rear. I need to add the bow sac, as it takes a little to plane- but not much. Without wedge and full tank/sac weight- no problem. The big difference is the rpm's.
I made a thread with 2 vids, but at 20 or 22 with full ballast/wedge I believe the rpms were at 3100. Many of the 4 blades were up near or over 4000rpm, so you save a little gas and wear on engine.

Let me know if you have any questions on it. Here's the original post with a couple short vids
