Default BBlades new 4 speeds.GREAT!!!!

Just ran BBlades new 30 pitch 4 speeds on my Scarab Viper with minus 2 Imcos.
All I can say is INCREDIBLE prop. Did everything Brad told me it would do. Picked up 4mph over labbed Bravo ones. Reduced slip by 7%
Great bow lift on a fairly flat running boat. Actually felt to have lifted the entire boat to run more free

Nice number. Looks like the props work at higher numbers.

Be interested to see how boatnt makes out on his Fountain.

I think about that statement every now and then. I am convinced women would still be in the horse and carriage days if it weren’t for Men inventing, tinkering, and improving things. We can’t help ourselves. Men have invented and improved almost everything on the planet. And why are women smarter than men? Can’t answer that one and be honest. And yes I am married to a woman who thinks she is smarter than me! LOL
