Removed fixed prop ... boat speed improved immensely!

[Scott T-Bird]

What a difference it makes when my stern isn't dragging!

Or squatting! That's a huge prop if the ladder in the background is any indication.

 

[Hello Below]

Adjust the pitch, remove one blade and you'll be fine.

So you had that four-blade bronze prop on your Catalina 32? Go ahead and pull the other one.
I'll bet I could run my fist through that prop shaft hole.

I feel like we are being pranked @Scott T-Bird !

Compared to that prop, having NO prop would be an improvement .

What was you first clue?

1. The size of the prop in comparison to the ladder?
2. the big dog ears on the 4 bladed prop?
3. the 2x4 on the gravel
4. or that Scott would let his prop get that far affected by galvanic corrosion? It is looking a bit pinkish.

 

[Scott T-Bird]

Wait till you see what was on my bow!

 

[Parsons]

Finally decided to upgrade this to a new generation anchor?

 

[Scott T-Bird]

That's not an anchor ..... THIS is an ANCHOR!

I take this off for racing!

That's why some of us pay thousands of dollars for a MaxProp. In the end, it is a good investment.

Nobody is going to steal that anchor, with all that heavy chain wrapped around it!

The pretty lady or the hunk of metal.

Give the lady your credit card while you go racing and hope the metal recycling of the anchor will finance the expense.

I guess you lighten your load or pocket book either way.

Monica is fun ... but I'm kinda partial to her sister!
