I have a gatortail 37HP - Stock. with the cast lower, just curious what prop options are out there, what are you running and how do you like it? Typical carrying conditions, speed, holeshot, etc. |

For that engine, I would run the powertec 2 blade, which a lot of people called the “old Gatortail two blade”. You can run a merc 2 as well but you won’t be able to turn it if you pitch it up. The only 3 blade I would run on a stock 37 would be the powertec 3 that came with gatortails from the factory. Stay away from the merc 3, hammer, or fat blade, because we have found that a stock 37 has trouble turning them unless the pitch is reduced. You may be able to run a rapid with success but I haven’t had a customer run a rapid on a stock 37 so I don’t know what results you would get with it |

Gator Tail doesn't recommend running a 2 blade prop with the cast lowers. Reason being is that the 2 blade props are more prone to be out of balance. This can cause the cast lowers to crack. Your best bet is to run the Power Tech 3 blade prop. I would still send the prop to Baggy to have him sharpen the leading edge and balance it. |

Yes, they are the stock props from Gator Tail. Since your engine doesn't have any modifications that's your best bet. Only option you really have to see a very slight improvement would be to have Baggy balance it and sharpen the leading edge. Unless you add performance modifications you really won't see any noticeable gains. I understand some people don't like changing the internals but at the least I would have the heads worked, add a better flowing exhaust, and have it tuned properly. |
