No, not the prentiss county yard art kind you normally find towed behind a Toyota (those have quality control issues with the emergency brake).

I mean a 30" prop or something in that range. With a 28" I'm turning about 300-400 RPMs past where my motor makes it's peak power. I want to try a 30" or so and see where that puts me.

I know the props that'll run on my boat aren't what most of you guys are running, so it's a stretch, but just thought i'd check. Gotta have some blade area to get this big girl up and runnin'.
