Well, I finally got that 25 setup and running on the Brockway.

I
"repaired" the prop to get rid of some of the flat spots and

tried to
even out the three blades Seems to have made a difference, I

wonder
what a decent blade would do. Anyway, here are some test runs

on a
small lake in CT.



I think it would run like a scared rabbit, at this load, with a
taller prop. It's just loafing along on that one, but runs
really great.

Someone on that lake has a taller prop on a nail in their garage.
The replaced it with one of those stainless beasts that will get
stolen, sooner or later. Look in their garage for the painted
one...(c;
