Re: Enough pitch?

[billw]

I dunno…..It has been my personal experience that FDs and Fastwins can be pretty darn quick….I have owned and run both Mercs and OMCs…

That being said, as a kid, I had a Fastwin on an 8′ Minimax. I ran both a three blade aluminum prop and a two blade Columbian "speed prop." The latter was bought new with a lot of lawn mowing money and carried with it great expectations. It was a long time ago and i don’t remember the pitches or part numbers. However, I always felt, however unscientifically, (No GPS back then) that the three blade was actually a little FASTER…..

Long live American manufacturing!
