Seriously considering buying the new 5000EFI for my 1851 Prodigy. Talking with the salesman, he recommended having the motor geared down with a big blade prop for better holeshot and if I wanted something with a little more speed to run rivers and play in the summer, get a 3 blade or hammer for speed. Does this make sense or can someone reason why this would be better than leaving it “standard”? Any and all info/opinions appreciated.

Makes no sense to me, but I see well past 35 with a worked big blade and have a great holeshot. I've seen the claims of some that 3blades are faster, or this and that. With a 5000efi, a stock big blade isn't enough prop, and a hammer isn't gonna have the same speed, and a 3 blade is just gonna be a 3 blade (which is probably fine, as I've only run 3 different worked 3 blades and been happy with none for different reasons. My opinion on them is limited, but not high). All will require some work to be right, and I suggest basing prop work off of gearing, not the other way around. Everyone wants something different out of their setup. I wanted holeshot, shallow water load carrying. I got that AND speed, somehow. Gearing to one of those props is cheaper than playing the prop game, but quite limiting in my opinion.

Russ, thanks for the response. What you wanted is exactly what I’m looking for as well. Typically I hunt a heavy load in a heavy boat in shallow water. The 37 has a hard time getting planed out so I’m anxious to see what this 5000 will do. I don’t know much of anything about props so your thoughts are appreciated. I think I’m going to just tell them to keep the motor geared normal.
