 mb35 prop suggestion?
What is the best prop to put on mb 35? Would swapping to a 3 blade make any difference?

 Re: mb35 prop suggestion?
Best in what way? The MB Big Blade is a damn good all around prop.
Their Hammer prop is even better in my opinion, if you can turn it 4700-4800 rpms. Otherwise, stick with the BB.
The GT 10p 3-blade may work decent, but I think you have to file on it a little to make it fit a MB shaft.
What prop you running now, and how fast are you spinning it?

 Re: mb35 prop suggestion?
Also my model is a 2004 hyper it had the super long out drive on it and just replaced it with with a 27in out drive do you guys think this will hurt my speed? Also I have pods on the back and the boat is a alumacraft waterfowler 15 ft mod v

 Re: mb35 prop suggestion?
Why do the pods affect a shorter drive?

 Re: mb35 prop suggestion?
The 27 is moving the prop 21" closer to the turbulence created by the pods.

 Re: mb35 prop suggestion?
So what do you guys think in performance decrease with the 27 in drive with the pods like a mile an hour or way worse than that? I like how much better it handles but the lose in speed I had with 2 guys gear and dog was crazy but also I had a crap threaded prop on that I had cut to fit the hex shaft got the big blade on now but haven't tried it yet because the river by my house froze
