Bill ...did you decide to keep your boat? ... or are you still shopping?

Im still shopping, Im currenlty looking into a Grand Banks,, but its in the preliminary stages,,,
just cleanning out the garage, I have two extra props, the previous owner gave me 4 extra,,, so I think two is fine

what size are they???
not sure if they will be compatiable with my F-28

I really dont know, what I can tell you is there the stock size for my 31

3 or 4 blades? Yes I want them!!!! How much?

Pk I don't think they will work on yours

Bill they will be stamped with the size

I might be interested in the props. I am restoring an F 32 and will have to look closely at my props to see t he numbers. I'll get back to you in a day or so. Thanks, Don

Stock F32 props shoud be 16X16, I believe...

What came with my boat and seem to be correct for twin 318's are:
16x15 3 blade
17x14 4 blade

The 3 blades were on it when I bought it and the 4 blades were spare (damaged). I repaired the 4 blades and have switched so that the 3 blades (also retuned on removal) are now my spare set. 3 blades give me higher top speed which I can't afford to use so I am happy with the better low speed control the 4 blades give me.
Docking in tight spaces is so much easier with the extra response the 4 blades give. I also get the low speed cruise condition using the 4 blades that the three does not seem to give me with the dinghy load off the back.
Of course I don't tend to use the low speed much and tend to run at 3150 rpm most of the time... about 18 Knots+ depending on the boat trim I can achieve in the sea conditions.

Just completed a two week vacation on Georgian Bay going to the North Channel in varying sea conditions with fuel burns from as low as 52 litres/hr up to 83 l/hr, majority in low 70's. This is a simple derived method litres at fill up vs hours run.... I don't have fuel flow meters.

Here are the photos I took on the trip for anyone interested:

We watched this storm go by one evening as we were in a protected anchorage.

I posted a few days ago about the props. Finally had a chance to check mine and they are 16 X 15 three blade. I could use these as spares. What do you want for them? Thanks , Don

Hello I am interested in buying these props, i have the same ones on my 74` sea raider although 1 of mine is dented., What are you asking for these?
Rob

Every one seens to want these props where they fitt or not . not one person has ask what shaft size they are . ( if its larger bore you can get a bushing and key) too small of a bore and you can't use them

i apologize for not asking the shaft size, i am very new to boating as my project boat has yet to see the water (1974 31` searaider) i will list to you all the numbers on my props as i took them off today and was not aware there were different shaft sizes

3 blade props and beetween the blades it says on the side

1) HI TA NAP
2) 14RH RH11 COLUMBIAN
3) 207050

on the ends where the shaft goes through like the circle part it says on side

1) FFG
2) 1411 1133A H/T

i don`t know how clear that is to you but if you could break it down for me how to interpret these numbers i would appreciate that
thank you for your time
Rob

CaptainRob don't apologize I just thought it was funny that every one want these yet did not ask the shaft size .In fact no knows what size they are for sure you need 14 x? and wants them , some one eles needs 16x? and wants them and someone that may have 18x? wants them . props need to be the right size . Maybe Bill will post the size when He gets Time
