 3 blade GT
Let's start another thread it's been a while ....
But on a serious note .. Has anyone tested one on a 25 ?? I could always have it pitched down if it's too much , but thinking it could help with a load
... Just looking for options I need a new prop and will just have the old 2 blade rebuilt for my hunting/mud prop

 Re: 3 blade GT
Have you ever tried a BB, I ran a worn one and it sucked, I could only spin it to around 3100. I seriously doubt you could run a 3 blade unless it was heavily modified.
But I'm far from knowledgable about props.....
But I know a guy!
Now one of these big motor guys need to run a three blade through some sand already.

 Re: 3 blade GT
Speaking of said shop.... I just picked up some of his handiwork....  This thing was beat to shit, spun hub, and re pitched and re cupped.... Picked up MPH and tons of hole-shot on a heavy ass boat. Txkingfisher was working on something for his small Copperhead a while back, wonder if something along the same lines can be done for the smaller Hp GT's

 Re: 3 blade GT
I may do what T said .. Wait for someone to burn up a 3 blade in the sand .. Run it see what happens .. So first wore 3 blade out there lemme know .. Cause always re add cup and reduce pitch ..
And make it just as shiny lol
