Bucky,

I have a Cabelas SS 3 Bladed prop that I bought when I first got my boat

Set -up was – 5.0 MPI with a 1.65 gear…

Boat ran 54/ 55 MPH, pulled tubers/ a skier well

It ain’t a fancy prop, but it works well on the set up you have… and I initially I had

If you want I mail it to you… Try it out.., if you like it make me an offer… if you don’t just mail it back

I also have a High 5 and Rev 4 to get rid of but I'm pretty sure they are too aggressive and you won't like them

I'm pretty sure I want a 4 blade. Thanks for the offer! How aggressive are we talking for the Rev 4 and high 5?

Hey Bucky

Both are pitched to 22 (although they originally started out as 21’s so they could be de-pitched)

Also the Rev4’s diameter has been reduced to 14” (a 1.5 lower is temperamental with large diameter props)

Why am I getting rid of them – too many props

They work just fine, and look new (never hit a rock, the bottom, or a jet skier.. Shocked

)

fwiw..

I ended up with a

22 Pitch Enertia with as much pitch and cup added as the shop could do without adversely affecting the prop – for speed

And a 23 High 5 pitched to 25 with cup added – for cruising / pulling

If you want one of them I’ll even throw in a new (never used) hub assembly
