Phil Speilgene and Jacob Watson of Yamaha and Greg Sharrow, CEO of Sharrow Marine, spent 2 days fishing and testing props with Tom Nelson and Joey Pyburn, hosts of The Outdoor Line.

Listen to the podcast below to hear all about their adventures on the water and what Tom and Joey thought of the Sharrow MX-3!

"If you would have told me that I could bolt something onto my engines and save 20% on fuel while increasing the holeshot, of course, I would not have believed it. If you had told me that this same product would quiet the engine sound down to the point that I no longer had to shut the cabin door to reduce noise; I would not have believed that either. the proof is in my reduced GPH fuel burn, the savings at the pump, and the quiet conversations that are now the norm with the door open. Before Sharrow propellers, discussing the concept of a 30' x 9' hull's holeshot was not feasible. Well, my concept of reality has been forever "sharrowed"." — Tom Nelson, The Outdoor Line, 710 ESPN Seattle.

Amazing day on the water product testing with Yamaha and Sharrow Marine! Take a close look at those props; the Sharrow loop design is quieter and more fuel efficient where we need it the most in our cruise rpm range. Oh and the fishing in Admiralty Inlet is solid too! Thanks to @joeypyburn for the great photo!
