R23 Sharrow Prop

[Rooster5440]

Hi all,
Looking to get some opinion's on a possible Sharrow prop replacement for our 2019 R-23. I find that the boat is under powered with the F200 when loaded with fuel, water and total of 5+ adults with trim tabs fully down. I always have to ask everyone to move forward to get on plane and find this so annoying. After mentioning this to my Co worker, he sent me a link to u tube for the Sharrow Prop as a possible solution to eliminate the under power issue. I like the fact of getting on plane sooner at a lower RPM along with the fuel savings and the noise reduction. So my question to you, will replacement of the factory prop to the Sharrow prop work to fix that annoying loaded boat situation?

Thanks in advance
Bruce

Personally, I'm skeptical of Sharrow's claims. Any company that has been making customers sign an NDA as part of a sales transaction smells fishy at best. I don't doubt that there is promise there, but what they are doing is very complex and I get the sense that all the wrinkles have yet to be ironed out.
