26 inch Bravo One fat shaft or similar

I will be testing the hull changes on the Bladerunner at Drivers on Friday. I will be testing with the current 28 inch pitch props - compare the difference the changes have made on a like for like basis.


THEN: I would like to test out the boat with 26 inch's


Can anyone loan me a set of 26's?


If it works I would be interested in buying them off you - or if they are not for sale - I would be able to determine if they are the correct prop....



JF? Pash? Hutch? Anyone?? Davis, Tony Davis? Anyone?

Cool - how do I get hold of Nick? At drivers or thereabouts?

OK - this looses me slightly. What characteristics does this type of prop produce in relation to the props I now have. I am in the unfortunate position where I spend all my time trying to understand DUO-PROP performance, and find I know almost nothing about 'normal' props, except I need to drop 2 inches of pitch to get into the powerband of the engines....

Nick is '2-XS-IF' on here. The 26's were for the RB boat and are brand new, un-bastadised.

On face value, I wouldn't think you want cleavers on the Blade.
