    Same here. 541 is great. Better hole shot and improved top end 👍

    5 blade is even better than 4... That was the old school of thought. These new CNC 3 blades are the best out there unless you run a ton of ballast and don't need top end speed.

    Replaced my 4 blade with the 3 blade. Boat does everything better with it.

    Nettles recommended the acme 913 for my saltare. But i live at 8500ft. They also said i would notice a difference with the 541 or the 543.
