My buddy let me use his. He has one if the first ones that they used for testing I ran it this weekend I noticed that the prop is not pulling with the tips of the blades cause they still have that rough texture while the base of the prop is smooth but I put on my 2 blade with the same load and the 2 blade out preformed it better hole shot and top end idk if that prop is just a bad one or what but I wasant impressed with it and it's heavy I know It got another blade on it but still

I tried the gd 3 blade back when. It would blow out in the worse possible time in Lillie's and mud. This is not the same prop.

Same load as above with a worn 12" 2 blade 4200rpms@ 25mph. Up on plane quicker and the motor didn't feel like it was in a bind like with the 3 blade.

Seems like the 3 blade is a good solution to always hitting your rev limiter

It does good with a fishing load. I had some weight in it today. Its an 18c48 by the way. I still think it's a good prop just not with a load, at least with my motor.

There is no consensus on this freakin 3 blade. I don't know what to think.

I'm looking for a speed prop for fishing. If this fits the bill and has less vibration, then I'm sold.

There seems to be that these 3 blades work great for some and not so good for others. I have heard as much as a 5 mph drop in speed and also as much as a 3 mph gain

Post GatorTail's New 3 Blade!!!
I don't have but 10-11 hours on mine but this is what I found so far. I think they will fit better with the longer shafts. That's what they were built for. 3" longer shafts make a lot of difference with angles and degrees of trim. People who are getting them to fit the 27" shafts I think you will be better off with the 2 blade. Now this is on my 2 new motors but as of now my dual rig is faster than it was. Reverse is a beast with them but I'm not sure if it the lower Unit or the electric reverse all I know is it will back the fuck up. I will find out later in the week what they of with 7 in my boat it will be a test. With 4 they did well so I'm thinking it will be ok. As for as vibration a world of difference between the 2 and 3. I haven't run them on my single znd don't plan to till I go to the new lower units.

I ran my 2 blade and 3 blade to day playing around. With my 32" drive the 3 blade lifts my nose do much more then a 2 blade. Also empty I ran the exact same speeds with both props. And there is no Tillar torque at all with the 3 blade!

I will say this that tiller torq has to do with boats and all too not just the motor same with some of that vibration. I know I clowned a lot on a gtr but mine has neither u can literally drive it with two fingers I think the ones that are having problems need to check there skegs and props or even there boats I have ridden in some boats with Gtrs and it sounds like the floor is coming apart and I've ridden in others that are very smooth and quiet
