Is there a better prop out there for a gator tail other than the factory big blade? Looking for something that I can get a little more speed yet still get through the mud. I don't really care to try to dig myself off a wet mudflat, just enough to get going in a inch or two of water with soft mud.

Also, what is the best gear ratio setup for the gator tail? I believe I remember seeing where the EVT guys tried some different gearing but can't remember the results.

This would be on a gator tail with a stage 1 and cam.

stay with stock gears, (thats what i ran 42 with) prop wise i think the big blade cant be beat, best all around prop they make, tryied to repitch some didnt really make a diff.

If you're not carrying a load, you may want to ask them about a small prop. My small prop runs faster than my big prop, but doesn't carry a load nearly as well.

nice avatar C_F, really nice
is dat de lady prathertown wit 2 rockin chairs?

It's been two years since thay came out with the ... just rite prop !!! It's not the "big" blade and its not the small "speed" one either ...... it's in the groove ....... don't type that thay quit it .. 'cause I mite need another one !!!!! Dag-Gum it !!!!! Please don't tell me thay quited somethin' that worked good !!!!!

Thanks fo the reply on that DDM .... !!! Thay mite be sumthin' better to come along ..... but I's shore like that propeller !!!!

I was under the impression there was a standard prop, then Gatortail came out with the big blade, now stock on new motors. Is there a larger prop still? I bought my GTR35 in 2008, with a 12" prop.

If you need a little more prop find someone with a mudbuddy and try their big blade. Its got 1/2 inch more pitch and is just a little larger diameter. May give you a little more.

Repitching a prop can make a big difference, 10 pitch is always 10 pitch.

A hook in the hull would cause you to lose speed while maintaining the same rpm's.
