into what speed will the prop shop 6717/2 push a 45" mono lynx hull with a 2" bandpipe and a sikk 25.4 motor. with a octura x472 i do get +- 48mph. thanks for any replies. i hope this will get me into the 50+ mph.

If its stock from propshop it will need to be balanced and sharpened,if it were me id buy one from dasboata allready done,not familiar with the 6717/2 but i like the propshop 6717/3 from dasboata i ran it on my mono with stock zen with good results,its now on my hydro with full mod best all round prop i own.Why not give Chris a shout and ask him which prop he advises ?,you say you tried the x472 was that a two blader? if so why not try a 3 blade version its a great prop for a mono.

The 6717/3 is a great prop. Not all 3 bladers are good 2 bladers and vice versa. The 7015/2 is a great prop. 7015/3 is a bear. Mart Octura doesn't make a X472/3, closest would be the X470/3, which is a good cheap prop but no speedster!

You could be right about the x472/3 maybe it was x470/3,defo was a fast prop especially good in turns and out.The 6717/3 was def faster top end though.

Funny you say that Mike, on my Panther, which is the next boat in the progression line from the Lynx, the 7015/3 prop is the prop of choice, the most stable I have with the best acceleration, it does need the strut to be set high to work, but once done I find it great. Dave recommended it to me and I have had good luck with it.

Ask Dave about his AL01. I still try the 7015/3 out once in a while, when I get it turning it is fast but nothing at all like the 7015/2.

Funny thing with props how good they are on some things and poor on others. The 7015/3 is the only prop worth running on my big 74" cat with a QD35 - I really thought it would be slow too but it moves.

I have a few 6717/2's but have never needed to run them - I have always found a great prop before going there (and often the 6717/3 is the great one). Might have to pull the 6717/2 out of the prop box more often though.

the x472/2 work ok i am going to try a x670/2 this weekend. i have decided to go with a 7015/2 propshop.

Hope you have good luck with it - I always like to try a few props when I can - see if there any other boaters at your lake who will lend you some props to try, I never mind lending mine to people to have a go.

A few guys at our lake have found new props this way, and saves the costs.

How about a prop swap shop ?might be a good way to find a prop that works before you decide to spend money on the right one.

Good idea Mart

I'd like to try your 6717/3[sm=teeth_smile.gif]. Shame the shipping would be more than the prop costs[>:]

martno1fan

Haha yea i should have said for those that have enough props to swap lmao .

7015/3 is my favourite prop for my mono.

With my mono (45" Sidewinder), I've tried

Stainless P275 from Dasboata B/S
Retallick 7040/3 B/S
Prop shop 6717/3 B/S B/C from Ozspec Hobbies
Prop shop 7016/2 B/S B/C from Ozspec Hobbies

For my hull the 7040/3 was the best performer.
