If you get one of these props they are designed to run a bit higher than a normal 3 or 4 blade prop.

Prop freaks CSC style... Great info. The prop testing at Long Point could be memorable if any want to have some fun. I`ll bring my 5 or 6. It never ends. Robert sr swears he can make magic outta my ole Mich. match for 80 clams. Says it has the thickness for his magic turning profile...? Are heavy props loading more shear to your LU? Pretty happy with my SSt1 3 bl @ 15x16. My motor is light and on the transom. The more I read and digest, the more I learn. The newer machined hub systems are indeed smooth thru your hand. Wouldn`t have thought you could feel that.
