I need to setup an 18 to 20' hull for recovery work.
I am looking for advice on the best prop setup for low speed maximum torque for breaking loose and towing grounded boats and small fish camps in medium small grain sand and mud flats.
Max speed or fuel economy is not a concern for this boat, Just the maximum push off thrust and low speed torque possible
I have had 3 and 4 blade conventional drives and one older gear drive 12 or 16 blade warp system on an ls6 i think, it was a number of years ago and they were fleet boats, I felt that the counter rotating system provided a much quicker and powerful initial break away from stand still but we were always concerned with fuel burn and speed.
This boat needs to have the torque curve of an agricultural tractor more or less
