Well then I guess I didn't gain but a realistic 0.5-1 mph, and that could have been from difference in tidal movement, wind, etc.

This was running in the same pond this morning, water was roughly 2-3 inches deep. Couldn't get it to stay at 33, but it bumped it a few times.

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

It's most Likely a different prop. They changed things from the first ones

What y'all trying to say I'm no prop expert but it shouldn't be smooth on the base and rough on the tips when it was new the whole thing was rough just don't seem right to me

Benelli,

I think the reason why they would sell a rough finish prop is to let you break it in yourself, it allows the prop to wear in pretty damn well. If you get one already polished, you lost material that may not have had to lose.

3 blade sucks. How's that DDM

And if your just tellin people what you've been told aren't you just a GTail puppet then? Get some of your own personal experience with the "new design" or just keep your mouth shut.

Wellllll, its not junk at all, I just don't have the power to turn it in thick mud. I don't want to modify the engine, and I avoided saying that because I know how many people on here who have modified units, and knowing myself I would jump on the bandwagon.

I actually was stuck for 2 hours yesterday because my engine couldn't hold the RPMs over a mud flat, thick mud, and I have a 54" bottom which isn't helping the scenario. I'm pretty sure a modded engine would have had the power to get over the flat.

I know for sure that the 45HD is a great engine and one of the biggest improvements was moving the torque curve further up into the RPM range, which is exactly what that prop needs.

I'm going to stop talking about it before I end up calling Performance V-Twin.

Don't let this mb fucker talk you into that junk he got. Get with Calen or Hoyt or Jamie b and let them build you a motor that will get it done.
