Guys, we were by Panther the other morning & they cranked up a 3x2 Turbine type they called it.

As far as hush prop it is no more than the sound of a window fan. Almost too quiet if put another way.

We didn't goto the water with the boat, just there in their yard on the trailer. So can't say abt it's push although it didn't take out thru the chainlink fence.

Thanx, gben

cc- I forgot what you are running, but there are several 3 blade senseniches over here on 0-540s. I have a 2 blade powershift signature series. Wish I had a three blade signature. Both brands of 3 blades see to produce more thrust. Don't know who said that 3 blade sensenich is like putting a box on the motor, they rev up faster then my 2 blade, even with us maxing out at near the same RPMs.

A couple of friends of mine took the 6 blade off and put the 3 blade on and every one that drove the boat said that there was a world of differnce. I'm running a 6 blade turbo warp drive

cc - Is that turbo warp drive the one with the stacked blades and different pitches?

I would love to see the the airboat prop companies all loan a prop to one manufacturer and test the performance of the boat with the different propellers and pitches. Try the boat on deep water, shallow water, dry ground, tall grass, and sees at what RPMs the boat planes, starts moving, etc. But I doubt that this will happen.

Yes the pitch is 2 deg diffrent for inside to out side blades, waterthunder has tested alot of these props and has alot if in put on how they preform

 

[stan]

[c chardt]
