Good point Neil. I had to put a 3 blade prop on my 35 Mk II. A two blade prop would get the blade tips too close to the hull (which would also cause vibration). Shawn's boat appears to have a 2 blade prop and an extended shaft to get the blades away from the hull. Not a good approach in my opinion.
