Any boat with a extremely high performance engine should have several prop set-ups. I have a labbed 30 I run 80% of the time and a labbed 32 for when I run more boost or am running light/looking for all out speed. My boat is set up to run blown or can be switched back to N/A in 15 minutes so now I also have a std 26 and a labbed 26 too plus the OTHER props I have bought thru-out the years that didn't really work out perfect (std 32,cutdown 28,original 23 etc),I thought everyone had a shelf full of props in their shop,Smitty

cougarman,

People often realize the benifits of multiple propellers. Folks don't want to realize the changes inperformance due to loads and weather conditions though. This is the reason for having a selection of propellers in your inventory.

Weather makes a huge impact as well as weight! Just think of the difference in the handling if Dale Jr. had a couple of fans in the back seat. Or if your buddy wanted to ride shotgun in your HEMI Mopar on the last race on the show PINKS? I don't think so!

HP to weight ratio is huge.

I have three sets for my 37 AT and two for my 32 Glasstream CC. No I would never think of this!

Thanks for all the continued answers and comments.
Have to say more response than I had planned on.
