Alan,
I think what he means, is that the physical size of the high thrust prop is about the same of that of a 25. If you compare them, they're somewhat the same.

I had that high thrust prop on my 2 stroke 8 until it got stolen. I replaced it with a regular prop, as I didn't have time to wait for a replacement. I really miss it, the difference is definately noticable.

Ooo Ok, Just didnt seem right the way he worded it. As i assumed the motor would equal about a 25
