We have a new design 3-blade. It has been the best working fastest 3-blade that each, high powered Daycruiser guy has tried.
You should call me and I will make you a DEAL!!;) :D TOM..

and for the prop it will be a three blade not sure on size yet

Bob you have a really strong motor, I would talk to some more people that are sharp on this subject, before I made alot of changes. I know a 21 Schiada is kind of like pushing a rock through the water, but they do run really well. Maybe check with some of the lower horsepower guys at the ski races.
Mike at Conquest has had several v-drive schiadas, and won the GN points with one several years ago. He is in your neighborhood I would go talk to him a little.
I know you have weekdays off sometimes, make a call to Phil Bergeron and tow it to Phoenix. He is very knowledgable when it comes to ski race boats, and is a real nice guy. He would not steer you wrong.

scott im going with 29' gears . and as for the prop it will be a
three blade 11'1/2 x 15' from tom bently. after reading the info
of your gear size i might drop down to 22's are motors are about the same. i think you could be right with the gear size.
thanks for all the great info on.
this. you guys are great.
:D :D :D :D :D c' mon
ps tom is a great guy to deal with

Now that you are going to 29's, 11 7/8" X 15, for "quick". Try 11 5/8" X 16, for fast, Don't forget the 90 degree 'full radious cup'!!! It will hold the nose up! Don't worry about the name, you know who I am. Good luck! PS, you'll have to move the smaller props back and the larger diameters forward.
