[Public-List] Question for Other Greymarine Owners with Stock Two Blade Prop

[Gordon Laco]

Our experience is about the same range and fuel consumption.  I think we get
a little more speed, maybe 6.5 wide open.

SURPRISE has an A4 engine with the original prop. I have occasionally
considered the three-bladed 'sailor' prop or one of the advertised upgrades;
but the fact is I am very happy with the engine and the high amount of
energy our set up delivers to the water so I am not going to monkey with it.

PS I am sojourning at our warehouse in New Bedford Massachusetts again so if
anybody is around who might want to take me sailing....
