Prop Choices??

[Larry]

Got the new shaft bushings installed, and all I have left is to install the prop....
The boat came with a steel 2 blade 12x16 installed, and a bronze (?) 12x16 3 blade in a box...
Boat will turn about 80 mph and 5500 rpm's with the 2 blade, with I think 14% gears (not positive).
Any benefit to the 3 blade prop?
The search didn't turn up much for me....
Thanks for the help.

A 3 blade is going to help you out of the hole, while the 2 blade will help you up top. Personally, I would not run the bronze prop.

Use the 3 blade for skiing "ONLY". I'd just get the 2 blade cut down a tad and use it for hot roddin around!..

That's what I need is a good 2-blade..Getting too much tail lift with the 3-blade above 5500 rpm..
