Everything seems 50/50 when it comes to a 3 blade or a 2 blade prop depending on the rig havent really seen anything about the havocs and was curious on which would run better with pitch or cupping.... usually run 2 guys and gear and run around 27ish and empty with gas and my self it runs 31 or 32 with just me running a stock 3 blade thats about to need replaced looks worn down ... boats a 1656 havoc dbst

Depends on what your goals are and what you are seeking out of the boat. Top end? Holeshot? Load carrying?

Your motor is stock? The numbers you posted for your speeds are good, so it sounds like you have a prop on the boat that is working well with your set up. I’m sure you can get a little more out of it if we balance it, sharpen it, and add a little cup. If you don’t have any performance mods, I wouldn’t add any pitch since it sounds like you are running pretty good like you are now

Yeah man, sharpening, cleaning it up, cupping it, and balancing it should help you a little more. What prop are you currently running?

That’s the powertech 3. Some love it, some hate it. It has some potential if reworked and cleaned up though

Some hulls love that prop. A guy I work with runs a worked one and loves it

FWIW Im running the same 3 blade prop(s) worked by baggy on stock 40's on a 22' heavily loaded hull and it runs better than my fat blades did. Silky smooth compared to 2 blades as well. After having baggy work his magic I will never run a 2 blade again.

I’m sure balance, sharpening, and cupping. Only pitching if you got some hopped up motors
