Venturing into performance upgrades for an AQ271C

Re: Venturing into performance upgrades for an AQ271C

My B5's (when not bent) top me out at 44 right now, then again, I am pushing a slightly larger hull. My best run with a non-dinged set of B6's was 49.4 with just me in it. usually loaded, running about 45-47 depending on wind.

both sets of props right now are in need of TLC......


..... stupid spun hub...... .....stupid low tide meets oyster bed.......

I suppose they are Cs now, they were called Fs for stainless awhile ago. At least I thought so. At any rate stainless C-6s and I'd like to try 7s. Kinda pricey tho. I could have the Vortec heads done, new intake manifold, camshaft for that but then I'd still need the C6s. Eh its only money.

I had these on my Wall of Shame for a while as a reminder to LISTEN to the locals about where the high ground was before the lake was filled up, this incident kept me off the lake for the rest of that season and the next...:

That incident also convinced me to stick with Aluminum as I seem to have PHS (Prop Hit Syndrome).

Maclin, those look like my props did when I found the only rock in Sand Bay wisconsin. although I also had a hub spin about 30 seconds later so I came in on 2 blades of one prop.

my current front prop is a bit dinged up, however not that bad. Also sticking with aluminum because of PHS
