The new 3 blade is for a splined shaft and the old PD is threaded so I bet if they tried it, it was a failed attempt.

i knew it was splinded, i was just wondering if they swapped shafts or what. give it time, someone will find a $200 fix to run a 3 blade prop if the speeds are worth it.

Wouldn't a three blade give u more torque (low end) vs speed (high end)?

Probably me. I sent it in for rework at Baggy's in Houma. He added 1" of cup and balanced it. I picked up a little over 1mph and better hole shot.
