Hi Readers

I'm building a Miss Budweisser clone (700mm length) and am getting close to giving it run on the water and I need some help with prop selection.

What are the pro's & con's for props with lift versus those that dont. (I'm guessing those that have lift get the transom out of the water quicker??

What are the benefits & pitfalls for 2 & 3 blade props (assuming the latter is available for smaller engines).

Manufacturer names would be handy as well please.

FYI I'm running an OS25FSR (yerr I know its a heap of 5h1t but its all I have) & its tuned piped. It has a 3/16 flexi shaft through an octura strut / rubber combo.

Any wisdon shared will be greatly appreciated.

cheers

I wouldn't know where to start on prop selection for this boat. Mostly gas boat guys here but there are a few nitro guys...hopefully some can help you out.

You might also consider asking your question over at International Waters...they are mostly nitro guys. Here is a link tell em I said hi www.intlwaters.com
