shockwave engine upgrade
[8D]Well I just received a new in box nitro .46 size marine engine to put in my Shockwave 36[>:]he he I finally won a bid on ebay
So I need to get a motor mount and collet and I will be all set to do quick change outs with the stock and .46 engine. I do have a question for the experts such as Ron, going up in engine size I would think would call for a larger prop size, stock for the dynamite .32 is a prather 230 going up about 25% in power I would figure a starting point of maybe two or three in size such as a prather 240 or 245?? Some feedback would be appreciated. thanks Butch in Niagara Falls

RE: shockwave engine upgrade
Expert? Me? I'll give it a shot anyway. For a prop I'd go with the Prather 235 or some from Octura, X4447, X448, X646/3 or an X450 in a 2 or 3 blade. You may have to try a few to find the right one. That boat ought to scoot with a .46 (I assume it's an O.S.). I've got a .45 mono and that's what I have for mine to choose from.
