RE: Prop mods
Mart, here is a quick example.
The prop on the left is a stock X472 & the one on the right is one I've worked. Notice how the entry portion of the blade (tounge) is removed. This is robs a lot of speed on most boats. However, it seems to hook up much better if you run a clutch.
Having said that, the most noticable difference was on my old SuperG'. The Prather 275 that came on it was only sharp & balance... nothing more. Ran good & hooked up like a mad man from a dead stop.
Did this mod (tounge removal) and it cavitated just a tad, but produced better top end. Also, the prop on the right has been thinned. I mean THINNED down good. Its not paper, but its very noticable when comparing and RAZOR sharp.
Dasboata (chris), Shoboat (mark sholund) and a few others have been kind enough to share some of the black art with me through the years and I give them ALL the credit. I'm no expert, just a student.
