Are you running an air boat?

What other boat would have a 6' diameter propeller ?

Before I thought twice, I thought you'd made a typo and meant 6". So maybe that's going around!


That would be close for Don's old motor.


My old motor has an odd looking 5 blade fan type propeller..maybe 10" in diameter.

Propped for power, not for speed. Most of the old Seagulls were like
that.
