I have been testing props this year,5 haul outs and 4 props to be exact.Bosler has been very patient with me,lol.The best peformance has come from a unexpected prop.Acme props are fully cnc manufactured and bosler has been swapping them for no charge.The best result was a three blade with the same blade area as a 4 blade, but has a lot of rake for bow lift.The bite feels as good as the four blade into the wind and tide but even underproped by 150rpm so i dont load the engine the boat is faster than ever. 20 kts cruise at 2100 and 26 kts at 2550,the engine will turn 2650 top so i may add some cup to knock off 75 rpm.Bottom line is less time running off shore because boat is faster,and more speed at same throttle and lower egt means better economy.I COULDENT BE HAPPIER WITH BOSLER.HOWS THAT FOR A REVIEW OF A COMPANY?IF you call them tell them tom at eurotechnic sent you ......cant wait to go fishing
