was just looking at off shore electric, that have a x450/3 and x450/3r, only right hand prop i saw on there, you could get those and take 15 or so mm off of them and then balance, about the only solution i see if you want to run 3 blade counter rotating

having dual drive is to provide additional stability by counter rotating.  You effectively eliminate prop walk and torque roll.  by having twin drives turning the same direction, you have twice the sideways pull and friction in the water.<div>
</div><div>Use 2 motors into a single drive with a larger prop if it's speed your after.</div>

What about the venom props? 32 and 36mm three blades I believe. might have to bush or drill them out, but it is an option.

all kinds of things on here about venom, but haven't heard much bad about thier props.
