Hey Steve,
I just checked Bacon sails and there's nothing similar to what I'm looking for.. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow, as well as Minney's. Dan is right, and they might have something that is not listed on the web. Your two blade prop won't work for me, because is too small for the new engine, so, I just have to keep looking around!
Regards,
Max

Max, we got our martech for Transpac from Bacon Sails $100 and in very good condition. We also have a three bladed max prop that is fantastic, pricey but really nice on all points. Have the original 15X13 two blade fixed prop as well if your interested. IF you need a really big prop talk to Larry he was quite helpful in having a diver install one for us in the 26" range prior to Transpac,,,,,thanks again Larry! LOL.
Steve

Hello Max,
Check with Minneys Yacht surplus.
http://www.minneysyachtsurplus.com/
Their website does not show what they actually have in their inventory.
The last time I was in there they had 4 Martec Elipticals that would fit our boats and dozens of other props. I don't know what they have that might fit but they are really good at finding what you need and shipping it at a reasonable cost. I have a Martec eliptical and it performs better than the fixed 2-blade that it replaced.

Hi everyvody,
I was checking my prop options with Michigan props. Since the fixed blade max diameter allowed on our boats is 16", according to the new engine and tranmission ratio, I'll have to use a 3 blade 16x18 prop. I wanted a 2 blade, but was told that with this numbers, I'll be a very weird prop....
Next year, after I'll recover from all the unexpected expenses, I'm planning to get a Kiwi prop, but in the meantime, I need prop shop recommendations, so I can try to get a used prop in this size...
Any shop recommendations with big prop inventory????
Regards,
Max Soto
