    High five

    Has anyone else ran a high five on their XB21? I bought one cheap off Craigslist as a dirty water prop. The hole shot and ability to stay on plane at slow slow speed was awesome. I can see it being real fun at these little 300-400 acre lake tournaments.

    Never tried one. Always had the same thought of using it as a junker. Right now my 28 Promax fills that spot. I see the high fives all the time local on Craigslist as well. I may have to get one to see.

    What gears are you running? What pitch did you get?

    Jay I have 1.62’s that pitched up to a 26. It’s too small but fun.

    That should work well for your purposes. I think it should be a rocket out of the hole as well.

    They are rockets out of the hole.

    Would fire my xb2003 out fishing in shallow junk but got dangerous at speed on that hull. Was fine on my old skeeter and triton at speed though. Might be ok on the bigger hull.

    The 28 promax isn't a good prop? A fella with a grand sport told me if got one that I would sell all my other props.

    Promax are great props. I’m using this for junk water so I don’t tear up my Promax or Hydromotive props.
