Re: Handling difference 3 blades vs 4 blades
 

Brett,

Some of my numbers may be off. I haved owned the boat for a short time and I am going on what I was told. Best was 78-79 I think at 6500 and a very light load. That was with 1.87:1 cle cases and the 26" choppers.

You are dialed as far as top end efficientcy. I'm sure the mid numbers aren't that good because it is the nature of the beast with the choppers. Get some seat time with the props you have and then we should look at the mid and upper end actual numbers you see.

Let me know.

Thanks Brett! That is what I kind of thought. Mid range is what I would like to improve and I didn't know if the four blades would help. I will get some more exact numbers and get back to you with them.

Will going to a 4 blade from a 3 blade help with torque steer on a single outboard?

Ike,

Where do you keep your boat in Paoli? I lived in Berwyn for a while and now out in the Phoenixville area. Though my boat is currently residing in Royersford. I take it you are looking for a prop for the little Apache.
