I have contacted a few local prop shops asking about props that save fuel - rather than speed I am looking for distance and fuel efficiency traveling fairly long distances in my 38ft Scarab - twin 502 Merc's - Bravo 1 out-drives.

I know little about pitch etc... to request a specific prop.

Can you guys educate me what the diff's are - metal, pitch etc... - I need to order soon.

I won't name any shops but I contacted a few in Houston, Texas I thought would steer me right - but they have left me hanging without follow-up or dropped my emails.

With delivery costs nowadays I think ordering them from the most knowledgeable and dependable shop no matter where its located is the best idea (?)

You guys have any pro-prop shops for me to contact please ?

Can't go wrong with Bblades. They know their stuff, and even have a trial program.

My suggestion would be to first get some accurate GPS vs rpm numbers on your current props. 3000, 3500, 4000, and WOT. Accuracy is key! Call them with what you have found and what you desire and start testing.

I've got two sets of props for my Cigarette, 37p 4 blades for all out speed and 34p 5 blade Hering's for everyday/cruising. The efficiency with the 5 blades is amazing.

Greatly reduced slip/fuel consumption with the 5 blades.

As mentioned above, talk to Brett @ Bblades, he'll hook you up.

Edit, I see you are in Thailand. Shipping will be a *****!

I missed the Thailand, um the "trial" program I mentioned will not apply

Kurt, 1.5 ratio?

Yup, 1.5

Nice! That's some HP my friend

Thanks for the deal on the pulleys, they are perfect....a great addition to the new cams.

Your welcome. Best of luck with the Mefiburn. I'll be following the updats as I'd like to learn more about that system.

same here, got 28p B1's for poker runs and 27p Herring five blades for island runs. the fives are way better for cruise.

Thanks guys - good info and referrals

The boat is in Texas now being prepped for shipment to Thailand - so blade delivery is not an issue

I will contact BBlades and see what he has

thank you again
