 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
My buddy let me use his. He has one if the first ones that they used for testing I ran it this weekend I noticed that the prop is not pulling with the tips of the blades cause they still have that rough texture while the base of the prop is smooth but I put on my 2 blade with the same load and the 2 blade out preformed it better hole shot and top end idk if that prop is just a bad one or what but I wasant impressed with it and it's heavy I know It got another blade on it but still

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I tried the gd 3 blade back when. It would blow out in the worse possible time in Lillie's and mud. This is not the same prop.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I got one sitting at the house for when I get back...Im gonna try and get before and after 0-top speed times to give a legit review and run in all the same spots and normal loads for comparison. Also gonna be fishing Lacasine, so also will see tons of grass to see how it does.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
Same load as above with a worn 12" 2 blade 4200rpms@ 25mph. Up on plane quicker and the motor didn't feel like it was in a bind like with the 3 blade.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
Seems like the 3 blade is a good solution to always hitting your rev limiter

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
It does good with a fishing load. I had some weight in it today. Its an 18c48 by the way. I still think it's a good prop just not with a load, at least with my motor.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
There is no consensus on this freakin 3 blade. I don't know what to think.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I'm looking for a speed prop for fishing. If this fits the bill and has less vibration, then I'm sold.

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
There seems to be that these 3 blades work great for some and not so good for others. I have heard as much as a 5 mph drop in speed and also as much as a 3 mph gain

 GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I don't have but 10-11 hours on mine but this is what I found so far. I think they will fit better with the longer shafts. That's what they were built for. 3" longer shafts make a lot of difference with angles and degrees of trim. People who are getting them to fit the 27" shafts I think you will be better off with the 2 blade. Now this is on my 2 new motors but as of now my dual rig is faster than it was. Reverse is a beast with them but I'm not sure if it the lower Unit or the electric reverse all I know is it will back the fuck up. I will find out later in the week what they of with 7 in my boat it will be a test. With 4 they did well so I'm thinking it will be ok. As for as vibration a world of difference between the 2 and 3. I haven't run them on my single znd don't plan to till I go to the new lower units.

 GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I ran my 2 blade and 3 blade to day playing around. With my 32" drive the 3 blade lifts my nose do much more then a 2 blade. Also empty I ran the exact same speeds with both props. And there is no Tillar torque at all with the 3 blade!

 Re: GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I will say this that tiller torq has to do with boats and all too not just the motor same with some of that vibration. I know I clowned a lot on a gtr but mine has neither u can literally drive it with two fingers I think the ones that are having problems need to check there skegs and props or even there boats I have ridden in some boats with Gtrs and it sounds like the floor is coming apart and I've ridden in others that are very smooth and quiet
