Has anyone tried the new prop from Mudbuddy made for the sport-v and sport-h? They say your engine has to turn at least 4000 rpm's. I was thinking about trying one, but I only get about 3750 to 3800 in the water. Would it be safe to try to get 4000 rpm's with a 31 vanguard in the water?

Ok thanks

Could anyone tell me if it would be safe to try to get 4000 rpm's out of my 31 vanguard in water?

That one ole boy said he lost 400 rpms when he switched to the hammer prop.

Ask Duckdiver. He put had the "Hammer" on his motor all weekend.
From what i could tell running next to him. Better hole shot, might have lost some top end, but carries a load really well.

Your motor will need some big nuts to turn it though. Dont put it on a stock motor.

The prop helped my rig all around for performance. I was turning 4800-5000 before, and now 4450 to 4550 with the hammer with 2 ta 3 guys and hunting gear.

Thanks, I guess I'm not turning enough rpm's to even think about it, if I ever decide to do some mods to my engine I'll give it a try then.

I feel like a have a totally different motor now with the hammer! Kinda feels like my old 450r taking off from a stand still

How do you guys think a stock BD4500 with duals will handle one? Only running little over 4,000 now

How are you geared right now?

Man not to sound stupid but I have no clue, however it came. It's a 2011 model

It wouldn't hurt to try. Stock BD4500 is 38 top and 48 bottom. If you get one and can't turn it like you want to, just change your bottom gear to a 49 or 50. This will give you more RPM to turn the prop.
