The 5 blade is a good low end recreational prop, the 4 blade is good, very good. That being said, I wasn't happy with either of these props I'm selling.
If I was you, I'd go talk to Ron Hill and buy either a Signature 5 blade 21 or 23 pitch. They will change your life, seriously. For the recreational boater under 60ish mph, they can't be beat. I have the 21 and 23 both bought from Hill. $425.00 each.

Either or both of these still available? Looking for a B1 24, but would entertain a 5 blade if it would work for me.
If you are looking for a B1 24 I would NOT get a High 5 21. The High 5 would be under-propped (not enough pitch), even with the 5th blade.
Yes that is for a 18' with a v6. Threats are really small on them. Don't get me wrong good prop. Just not comparable at all to a 24 b1

Thanks for the info. I know nothing about 5 blade props, right now. Just thinking about it.

I have 1 in Parker it is much smaller than the 24 b1. Came off a 21' boat with 350 sbc and alpha 1, diameter is much smaller.
Yes, just to echo the other comments, the High 5 is a fine prop, but not what your are looking for.
I run a 24 B1 on a magic deck boat with Mercury 525. Most run a 26 but I don't care for top speed. Though I have ran a 26, I prefer the 24 but still wish to get the boat on plane even better, if possible. Would you recommend a Ron Hill prop for my style boat/boating?

The Signature line of SS props from Hill are great. Not $1200.00 props but for $400.00 you get a high quality prop. I bought a 5 blade 21 pitch and loved it. My current boat, 26' Sleekcraft jumps out of the hole with the 21. I bought a 5 blade 23 pitch and it's become my favorite ever. I can cruise at 40ish at 3000-3200 rpm all day long. The motor still responds performance wise but I get the benefit of lower fuel consumption, less wear and tear on the motor and outdrive.
I still have the 5 blade I originally listed. I'll take $150.00 if anyone wants that one.
