RACER8

Looking for opinions or advice. I have an 02 32' skater Race/Pleasure Cat. Twin 300x's, bought the boat with 15x30 lab finish cleaver merc props, boat does 105 when the props were new. Well a couple of underwater objects and a couple boating season's later, props were rebuilt twice, they seem to have lost their punch. I have a set of unlabbed 14.5 x 32's but they don't have the top end as the other set did new. My theory is the 15's move more water than the 14.5's, anyway, looking for suggestions or comments from others out there. Are there any 4 blade designs for this application, should i stick with merc props, 15x30's would hit the rev limit when trying to get highest speeds, thinking about 15x32 labbed cleaver from merc,

I understand there is a guy in Arizona with a 32 Classic with X's who runs 108/110 in fresh water and uses 15 x 32 labs. Try Peter or Chris at Skater and they can probably get you in touch.

Joey Imprescia set one up last week...... and wanted to avoid the engine "issues" inherent with the cleavers/300x/32 Skaters.

He opted for 32" 3 blade choppers.....result.... great handling....no rooster tail "spikes" in rough water....no rooster tails actually...... and about 108 top end.....win, win, win.

By the way...the props have not been labbed yet.

Good luck
