09 GTR on an GT 1860CC GT Stage one Deep water I ran 29 by myself at just under 3700 rpms. I used to run the near the same speeds with a fresh 2 blade but at 3700-3800rpms. I can't tell if it vibrates less with the CC set up but it feels like it has a little more low end and reverse is improved. I'll post shallow water speeds and loaded weights at a later date. I just wanted to get the info out there. FYI, the prop did not come with a cup which recesses the nut into the prop. |

What # is stamped on the blades. Mine is 567.I wonder what it means as for as indentifaction purposes. Btw 3800 with a stage 1 motor seems low with a two blade. I would think you would be around 4000. What does your stage one consist of? |

#567 stamp also. An early Hoyt cam, decked heads and exhaust. I never ran 4000 or over until my 2 blade prop got worn. |

But it will run 26-28 with a 4 man bowfishing load with generator and loaded ice chest. I know it will run faster with the 2 blade probably 30-31 unloaded. Don't forget I'm running a 1860 CC with 2 batteries and some misc equipment weight The motor never reved up high in all the years I had it. My cam is different then the the ones out there now. Not sure if that is the difference. |

I run a 1754 xtreme CC stage one and run 4350 Rpms and 31 mph. When I ran 3 blade I went down to 4100 and 29-30 mph |

Their running different gears. I tell you this I know my boat is a dual but I love my 3 blades on it. Not saying it outperforms the 2 blade but it's a better for me and what I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've been running it for a month or so now and love it, hole shot is better, tiller torque is noticeably less with a load for me. It did fine in thick grass with a light load but with 4 people I had to change back to the 2 blade foe frogging. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk |

It's NOT all that to me, you lose RPM's and it don't carry a load good I just stick with a 2 blade hands down I rather a 2 blade for performance and all around prop. Sent from da woods! |

Old gearing will not turn it that good. My stage two with old gearing could only turn it about 4200 rpms. Im upgrading to the new gearing now. I post up the results after its complete. |

2 blade > 3 blade Only thing better about a 3 blade is reverse and you can idle shallower than the 2 blade. Everything else, nod goes to the 2 blade. |

i dont have any complaints out of my three blade so far, but i haven't ran a two on this boat yet either. This is a stock motor also and ive seen 30 in deep water light that plenty satisfy s me being a stock motor anyways. Is GT gonna offer both now when you call to buy one? |

If the three blade performs close to the same as the two blade, even if its a lil slower... the blades look a lil thicker on the three blade, so it might not wear out ad fast as the two blade. It may be worth a shot for me even though i have old style pulleys. |

Yep Delta is right, this would help your rig alot with how heavy it is. The new gear does really well in all aspects. |

The other night I had 6 of us in that heavy rig with the bowfishing gear. It barely wanted to plane in deep water but ran 26-27 in shallow. I think that was the hardest that motor ever worked coming home with all those people,28reds,15sheep head,and 9 drum fish. Got on step and kept it up till back at launch. I think my worn 2 blade actually helped with that big load. And....what the fuk was so damn funny? |

For the record, oow Rpm's were a little over 4000. There is some adjusting to be done as it just came from the shop after the rocker boss incident. Still 29 ain't bad. |

I guess if u gotta get a whole new belt housing to change gears u might as well get the new style lower unit too.?? Do u need to grease and change seals as often with the new style? |

Housing is to accommodate larger pulley. Belt is to fit 48t pulley instead of 45t. |
