I have seen much on this forum about Sharrow but found this at Hull Truth. https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-fo ... ps-65.html
Just installed a new Sharrow MX3 propeller on our 2019 Ranger Tugs R-27.
I gotta say, it does wonders for this boat! 16-mph cruise at 3000 rpm! Before, it plowed along at 10 mph at this rpm.
Just what we were looking for, a boat that cruises efficiently in the 15-25 mph range. (We have no interest in cruising in the 30-40 mph range.)
I think this prop makes the boat behave a lot more like the old inboard version - although it doesn’t take away the high top speed of the outboard.
(Data Comparison Graph jpg here) (When I upload this jpg and try to post, I get the message: "You are not allowed to post URLs until you have at least 10 posts"!) ???
Data gathered with tanks half full, one person aboard, light chop, average of upwind/downwind runs.
Anyone else here have any experience?
