 Stock 35 GTR Prop Question I've got about 100 hours on a GTR 35, 17.5' Gatortail extreme hull.
My 2 blade prop (stock GTR prop) is shot... and after idling 13 miles this past weekend because I couldn't get on step....It's time for a new one...
I duck hunt this boat, make long runs (13 mi.)
I am curious what prop is going to tote the heaviest load?
2 blade vs. 3 blade, 10 P, 11P.....etc?
Is there any aftermarket props that do better?
Thanks in adavance guys...

Re: Stock 35 GTR Prop Question My 10p 3 blade on my 1854 also does as well as I could ask.

Re: Stock 35 GTR Prop Question I know this is probably all over MMT, but what's the benefit of the 3 blade over the 2 blade?
I've heard it runs smoother in your hand, gains a little holeshot, but slower and not is good in the mud and grass.

Re: Stock 35 GTR Prop Question I have about 60 hrs on mine and haven't been in a situation where I wanted a 2 blade..
When in reverse the grass will ball up initially. I just hiit it in forward to clear the prop. Then nail it again in reverse. The key is to have the rpms up pretty good in reverse.

Re: Stock 35 GTR Prop Question I've read somewhere here that with a stock motor, and a 45 tooth pulley you better stick with the 2 blade.
My mottor is a 2013 GTR 35 STOCK.....I am assuming it's the 45 tooth pulley
