You're telling me that a small diff in drag is going to be noticed?? So,
now
the boat can go 52.3 mph instead of 55. I think most people wouldn't
notice.

No I am saying that is a big drag and it will be more than noticed. It
will seriously affect fuel mileage and performance. There is a very
good reason why props are the way they are, particularly the trailing
edge of the blade, where this swimmer hit. Even a very blunt work boat
prop has a sharp trailing edge. Otherwise it cavitates. This guy is
bragging about holes in the prop that make it cavitate more. This
isn't a prop, it is a bubble machine.


See thunder's post.
