Did gatortail redo the 3 blade so a stock motor can turn it ?

Yes it's a 10.pitch. I turned it about 4100-4200 stock. Now I turn it 4400-4500 with a Mikuni and exhaust.

Btw 18x48 boat.

They're a lot better than the 11 pitch was as far as drivability but the a touch slower

So better off stayin with a 2 blade

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

I don't see a need for a 2 blade after what I put my 3 blade through last night Frogging. 4-6" of water with matted hydrilla.

18x48 gtr with Mikuni and evt exhaust. I can turn it 4500 rpms.

For some reason I think i heard the 10p was faster

Author:  msm8281 [ Mon Oct 13, 2014 6:47 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

I put my 2 blade on for 5 minutes the other day then took it off.

I like my two blade when I did run the 3 I almost got thrown out the boat

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

So what's the general consensus on a 2 vs 3 blade. I need a new prop ASAP and I'm running a stock motor

Author:  msm8281 [ Mon Oct 13, 2014 7:05 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

I was turning it 4200rpm stock. On an 18x48 with a 3/16 bottom unc j hull with a light load.

Buy the 3 and if you don't like it I'll buy it with for a small discount.

Do you have the old or new gearing(45t or 48t)

Get the 3 blade u would be able to sell it faster if u don't like it

Author:  msm8281 [ Mon Oct 13, 2014 7:15 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

3 blade is also much thicker. It may last longer.

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

The 3 blade on my stock motor seems to run just fine. No real tiller torque at all.

Where do you order the 3 blade from? I just looked on GT website and only a 2 blade show in their props section?

My engine is a 2012 with the old style foot, my boat is in the signature. Which pitch you guys recommend? Right now I turn the 2 blade up to 4300 but it gives best speed trimmed down a bit at 4150 or so. My boat is pretty dang heavy, by myself it will run 29-30 gps'd, 25-27 with 3 in it. Hole shot sucks and a LOT of torque.

They only offer the 10p now I believe. Your boat should turn it.

Alright...Thanks Justin.

I just ordered it. If it don't work out, guess someone on here will buy it from me. I'll let ya'll know how it does.

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

The 10 pitch is not faster even ,though u get more rpm its still slower than the 11 but its a lot easier to drive.

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

Can you go half pitches? Like 10.5 pitch.

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

LA, Just assuming you do prop work. Can you mod this 3 blade (pirch, cup, rake) if I need some tweeking on it? If not, do you know who does?

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

I have a friend that owns precision propeller here in lake Charles, la. We have been playing with the three blade props lately and have had some really good runs. BTW POWER TECH builds the 3 blade props and they will build that prop from 8-11 pitch.

Stock motor with 10p 3 blade will plant you out the rear of the boat coming from a dead stop, torque is manageable based on load distribution and trim, keep your rooster tail at or around height of air breather, rpm's at sweet spot 3700-3800, running 1848 with 3/16 bottom, had 1000 pounds in the boat and ran 22

^^ 37 that's baby shit :lol: . Sounds like someone got the bottom end built up now too[/quote]

Nope just a cam, heads, carb, exhaust motor. Did take the Rev limiting coils off though ;)[/quote]

I always thought stock rods were good up till 5500rpm! Haha[/quote]

There not ;)

When I get to 300 Hrs after hunting season and mud riding season on the same rods, I will let you know. Its already at 90 hrs. Should have popped already right?

Put 10 hrs on a motor with after market rods at 5200 and I bet the result is the same.

Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

Quit trying to play stupid. You know damn good and well that there are motors with stock rods that burst 5800 to 6k in reverse that have stayed together for years. The block holding one of these motors at 5200 will split before the rods will break.

Author:  Jamie B. [ Thu Oct 16, 2014 1:08 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Gtr 3 blade

You keep pushing these after market rods when the block is the week point! So yes, lets throw some after market longer rods in a motor and bump up the cylinder pressure and hold the motors at higher RPMs and everything will be fine because I have aftermarket connecting rods. Get the f@@k out of here with that shit.
