16" diameter props available as lefts and rights but only in pitches up to 23"?? What are these twin outboards mounted on pontoons? the mythbuster's concrete boat? I would say those are props for guys with 65% more moving parts and engines in the boat.

One man's pontoon boat is another man's performance boat. If the product enhances someone's experience on the water, I'm good with it. Sounds like it's not for you, though. To each his own.

I would like to see Rowland try these 16" diameter Bravo props rebranded as eco props for outboards, he would only need like 9500rpm to get the job done. Entire thing is marketing nonsense from Fon du Lac, Cavanaugh is rolling over in his grave.

I am not sure what your issue is but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. As for Dennis Cavanaugh, he was a friend and one of the most gracious people, especially when it came to giving his time and expertise, I have ever met. If he is "rolling over in his grave," he's doing so politely and with good cheer. Not a bad cue to take.

X2, i picked up way more than 10% better fuel mileage just using speed wax, then wiping the bottom down with not one but two coats of slick 50...rm
