In Response To: Re: 3 blade versus 4 blade props (Ed C.)

Ed thanks for the info; but I am running 1.5:1 gears it seems four blades don't work. I spoke with at least 5 guys running 4 blades on stock 35B's and not one even came close to my numbers. When I sent them a copy of the specs from the factory owner's manual they all said they could not match those numbers with four blades. In theory four should be better than three; but at 300HP and 1.5:1 gears they are busted.
