 Powertech 3 Blade
I was so impressed with the job Baggy did on my 2 Blade I called him about working my 3 Blade. He is not too impressed with the Powertech 3 blade. He said he could improve it but recommended I get a new Prop that is now being offered by Gator Tail. Anybody know what he is talking about?

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
He is talking about the mercury rapid prop. Worked, it's the fastest 3 blade on the market. Bumped my speed up 3 mph from a worked merc 3 when I switched to the worked merc rapid

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
Sure don't, it's too new. They sent listed anywhere that I know of. Just call gatortail and tell them you want a rapid prop. I believe they are going for 300 there

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
I believe it comes 11.5 pitch unworked but I'm unsure. Mine was worked immediately after purchase because I had a friends prop I tried as a comparison.
The prop is made by mercury. Gatortail sells it. Delta in Morgan city sells it as well, worked and unworked

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
Only 3 people I know run the prop currently, a buddy with a highly modded willey fast motor, a guy in Morgan city, and me. It's by far the fastest prop I've ran on my boat. Two people, my dog, and a hunt load, I run 34-35. Completely empty, I'm running 37-38 on my 1848 custom crawfish skiff. I'm running it 12 pitch, cupped, polished, sharpened, and with a cut skeg and very small mods on a 40GTR XD

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
If you call baggy, he can tell you. My prop is high polished, so there are no numbers on it besides my pitch and my initials bro

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
I was on the phone with him today asking for a recommendation on a 2 blade. I didnt even think to ask about my current prop. He suggested either a fat blade or the 2 blade that delta carries (not the big blade or hammer). Do you know which 2 blade that is? I'll probably let him work this 3 blade while I'm at it though.

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
I don't know the name of the prop but it's the two blade that comes with the gatortail motors now if you order the motor with a two blade. I believe it is made by powertech

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
I have one with my old mercury prop that was slower than the current prop I can send you if you pm me. On that video, we had two people, two limits of red fish, and a full fishing load. Hit me up and I'll send it to you

 Re: Powertech 3 Blade
Here is a gps this morning with two people, a full ice chest my boy is sitting on, 12 gallon tank full, and both my front storages were filled with tools because we were working on the property
