: New SS Prop
: Latimeria April 23, 2023, 09:41:30 AM
So I've been trying different prop configurations from the guys at SD Propellers and finally was pretty happy after trying out a couple of props.  He ordered me a SS prop, but it had a slightly different mod than what I was trying out before (Cupped blades vs Straight blades).  I'm not exactly sure what was so different to make such a DIFFERENCE (same pitch and diameter) but this thing is scary!  When I gun it, it's like I launching a big block chevy at the track and goes from 0-40 in a few seconds.

My trial run yesterday I couldn't open it up all the way as it was a little too scary with some texture on the water.  I couldn't go past 39.5 on the last prop, but this is getting 42 on 3/4 throttle so I'll have to test on the bay when there's no one out there to make any waves.

Wow.....

Wow! That’s really impressive. Duly noted for when things get further upgraded over here.
