I assume your Maxprop is a 3 blade? I have that setup on my 34+ with the same engine. At 2700 rpm we do about 6.5 to 6.75 knots pretty regularly, No issues with vibration, seems to be good power and good reverse power. Sorry I don't know offhand the pitch or size of the prop. That's my Maxprop experience, FWIW. Cheers

Mine was still working but one blade was a nasty orange color and the hub had lost a lot of material. though not enough to not keep it together. How bad was yours that was repairable? Dave M.

This was before I was Enlightened to dead-blow hammers and critical painting of zincs. It cost $500 US, but the guys at PYI did a great job of rebuilding the prop. Two weeks and half a boat unit is a cheap option.

Needless to say my prop is shot and I am looking at either another of the same or other options. I am hoping that some one out there with the same or similar boat can weigh in on whether the Maxprop or something else is recommended. I have a 3GM30 and ever since I bought this boat several years ago I have felt there was a bit too much vibration and not enough speed. If I take the engine up to about 2700 rpm's my boat speed is only around 5 to 5 1/4 knots. The prop has always performed adequately but not great. Maybe the pitch etc. is off. Looking also at the Variprop which supposedly has the least drag of all 3 blades and can be adjusted much easier than the Maxprop. Thoughts, ideas, what are you other 34+ owners using?
