Has anyone ran the Mercury High 5 just as a heavy load prop? If so how did it do?

It will pull out tree stumps and dock pilings.

Don't they cause your motor to have a drinking problem?

They sure do. :beer: I have a 22 that I yank young adults around with. With that prop and only me in the boat, it will launch the entire boat out of the water. Like a drag prop to about 70.

What pitch?

26" big barrel. I used to have a 20" small barrel that I used a handful of times on my 03 & like was said, you could jump the entire boat out of the water from a dead stop but it was done in the 60s & drank gas like my 454SS! :surprised I think I got it via a trade for an ol doorstop otherwise Ida had a large barrel, taller pitch. I used when my kids were small & tubing & needed to be started out slowly. Worked perfect for that tho, but was like running around in granny-low all the time.
A 24"-25" QIV-OT or Trophy will do essentially the same job & are a lil easier on gas.

I have a New in box 25 TXP o/t 4 on the way, did some trading for it.
All I'm wanting this low of pitch for is loaded summer time fun.
Something that will carry the boat loaded at 35-40 mph..

My high five is a 12 3/4 X 24. Won it a while ago in the state bass tournament and ran it a few times when I had my Skeeter wit a Mariner 150 on it. It's not new I can take some pic's if anyone is interested.
