RE: THE UNOFFICIAL SHOCKWAVE 36 THREAD
Wow,
Even the X447 is too much. I thought the 230 that was stock was too much, but I can still get into the pipe on mine. But that it far taller than a 4series and about the same diameter as the 48. I may try the M-445. I am a bit confused by something I read about the props. One site said the X is a lifter prop, while I see on the actual package that it is good for mono's and cat's. I assume mono's and cat's don't use lifters, unlike the hydros and riggers. I also noticed that the X's have a larger blade face with the front lobe being much larger. Can anyone explain the difference? I may try the M445 and maybe the 447, just to see how they run. They can't be as bad as the 230 I have on their now. I'll also lift my tabs a bit to see how that works too. I have about 4 oz in the nose of the boat, so hopefully that will keep it from rotating through the waves.
Thanks,
Curtis
