[QUOTE=Snookerd;222956]Terry-You seem to be chasing after the "bent prop" award.
Wow, that would be cool. Here are some of my qualifications -
1) I have spent 53 years using the various soil sub-strates of the Eastern Gulf estuaries to not only mathematically reduce the diameter but simultaneously verify if a seriated leading edge would enhance propeller function. This is an ongoing analysis.
2) I have been forcibly escorted out of General Propellor, Admiral Propellor, and C & B Propellor. I just got my first propellor from Ken at Prop Gods. He's very helpful and understanding, so I hope to make it to May or June with him.
3) I "chucked" oyster shells over 25' up in the air one evening "sporting" up the ICW with my 30' T-Craft, because those dang 3208 Cats put out something like 650 Ft. Lbs of torque. It's unbelievable how far you can throw those oyster shells when the turbo is "spooled up".
4) Rounded of to the nearest 10, I have "reshaped" approximately 2,680 props and actually broken one. That was in an airboat and yes - that left a mark...!
Please advise if you would like me to submit any more substantiating data or if you need any witnesses as to my character. The authors of those documents should be out of rehab any day now.
Standing by for further instructions, Sir
