Larry I have very limited seat time and I have seen 94 @ 5500 RPM's. I am currently running 14.5 X32 3 blade labbed Merc cleavers. I have on order a set of Throttle Up 5 blade CNC 14.5 X 30P props that I am very excited to test out. p.s. sorry I forgot to call I have been running crazy @ work. Hope this helps. |
Greg Riechman purchased the boat from Mills so he can tell you more about it.
You are probably better off with twins as far as maintainance is concerned. The center engine does take a beating from the tunnel water. Paul Whitter put four on his 32. 2 per sponson. |

How did it run? did it solve the problam of the Dirty water in the tunnel the 3rd engine gets ? Any chance you know how the steering was ? Top end ? Any info would be great. |
From my Exp , unless you have a high slip # , more blades will cause more drag and slow you down . I race with OPA , and stopped labbing props , Hydromotive out of the box out performed Labbed Merc props . I spend 99 % of time not at full throttle when I pleasure use my old race boat ( for sale under race boats 24 BRT ) , and with lab props I have seen higher slip ratio at crise and only a slight increase at WOT . I will never waste my money again !

Larry,
I was told the same always, less blades more speed. Then a gentleman who won the Austrailian open race earlier this season (32 Skater W 2.5's I believe) came on this very board and said that the 5 blade Throttle up props Blew away any 3 blade prop he ever used. I think his average speed was 110. I took interest in this, I starting asking questions and I have been told by folk way more experienced than myself that these Throttle Up CNC props are insane. Most are getting 5 to 8 MPH increases in top end and a much smoother quicker exceleration. I hope to report my real life findings for you shortly !! |
Aerent they Hydromotive ??? Time and time again , all I gained was just a few on top end with a big loss in mid range . I WILL NEVER PAY FOR A LABBED PROP !!!

Xchoke, my dad throttled a tripple 32 for a long time. If you have any more questions give him a call at 518-644-3080, ask for Jason. They run great.
