Any Benifit to being Dialed in with two sets of props for pleasure Use ?
 

Just wonder how many folks if any are dialed in with more than one set of props ?

Maybe a set for normal Cruising?

Maybe a second set of fast day's or Poker Runs ?

All my boating is on Lake Michigan.

If any of you have done this are you glad you did? And if any of you have done this what benifits do you feel you have gained by doing this?

Thanks
Jon

TTT Nobody ?????????

Bravo three with the twin props suppose to improve control and handling.

Here in PDF format is a little more information from boattest.com on the Bravo III

:D You're Welcome

This would be two individual pairs of props for #6 drives.

NOT a twin prop outdrive..................


Thanks
Jon

I have a set of 34P Bravo for heavy loads= more than 3 passengers,coolers and full fuel,boat accelerates better but limits top end.
Set of stock 36P Bravo for poker runs, Blades are stock thickness, reduses rpm for long sustained high rpm runs that causes cracks in my labbed props, and to lower rpms to reduse engine wear.
Set of BBlade Labbed 36 P Bravo for radar runs, highest MPH and just me in boat with low fuel.

So do you feel it was worth it to set it up with three individual set's? Would you do it again?

Thanks
Jon

It's also nice to have a short set with big motors . So when you go out with a boat load of friends you have great mid range pull.

I've been sugesting this for years but it doen't always come out right when it comes from the propeller salesman. LOL

Changes in air temp., humidity, water temp., water conditions all play into prop choices. As propeller technicians, we deal with the seasonal changes every year. Believe me it can be a real headache! Multiple propeller pitches and configurations are a great option to fit any load and seasonal condition.

I have one customer that has me change his propeller 3 times a year. After 2 years they are shot. Would have been better off buy a few different propellers!

LOL......................Hmmm wonder why ? :D

So have you had many customers take you up on it ?

Thanks
Jon

Would I do this again? Was it worth it? Hey this is standard procedure for me! I have 30+ years of boating experience. Not that that makes a difference,common sense and being willing to learn from the best means more than experience. Take the short cut listen what the pro's have to say, and by the way Brett=BBlades is one of them and Julie from Throttlesup is too!. I learn and listen from the best.

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:D,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.
