Re: Which SS Prop???????
There's a baypro doing its thing, that particular boat is a short and wide 19'x8'... the boat that does the porpising...notice the print it is only 24" wide on a 8'beam that's overall lift...with a nudge from the 4th blade. Now all 4 blades will not lift like that for the most part they are stern lifter's..now with the stern riding high the weight of the boat being in the stern it will...well dance on it's tail.
The 3 blade will more than probably do all thing's in one package it is a simple a elegant solution....Now we can muddy up the water's a bit and go along these line's..That baypro has very aggressive cupping allowing it to ride high in the water line higher that a 3 blade....So lift the engine less drag higher speed's...and still no cavitation.
So 17@ 5300
16@5500
lose 2 for ss 5300
lose 1 for the fourth 5200
Etc etc etc...If the stilleto's intrigue you pm me on the 4th blade model
