Hey everyone, I'm looking for a 3-blade prop, specifically a 13x11.5 left-handed.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but ski-it-again.com should have a 13x12 for super cheap since they are common. My boat came with a 13x13 and 13x12. Personally I like the lower more agressive pitch (13x10.5 or 11) but when you go that low you start to lose some top-end-speed. Kinda your choice I guess.

You might want to call JT at Nettleprops.com and see if they can give you the Supra forums hookup. When I needed a prop he had a bunch of those, but I wanted the newly designed 10.5.

They just have really good prices and if you tell them you were referred from the Supra forums you may get a bit of a hook up. We just did a prop group buy with them. I got mine for about $325.

Oh one more thing - There are two kinda of props, cast or CNC. Older props are bronze cast in a mold. THe blades are MUCH smaller, and the cup is not as optimized. On the new CNC machine cut props they are much more effective.

Damn, now I really need a prop. Just bent mine tonight. Pretty good rumble when I go over idle now... haven't had a chance to check the driveshaft for any bend... everyone keep their fingers crossed for me.

Also, I'm obviously looking for a prop now. Any 3 blade LH prop with a 1" bore will do. And hopefully within driving distance of northern illinois because I need one soon.
