Did you get any test time with your DCB? What is the boats attitude with your current set of props?

I came to the conclusion that it needs bow lift, 4 blades worked better than the 5 blades I tried running. The 5 blades were 15 or 16* with some cup at the tip. They only worked in rough water. The four blades that came on the boat worked better. I'm having thoughts of cutting the sub boxes out of the bow and moving the batteries. It bow steers when not aired out, needs some weight loss for sure

We marketed and sold the 4 blades at 15 degrees.
However, we had consistent blade droop due to to wax maintenance that ultimately made the actual rake about 14.5 degrees.

We do get some 4 blade "long hubs" in our CR program. Call us and we can check inventory for you.
