Props

[douglas]

I have a 1984 43' Californian trawler and just had my props done with Wolverine Propeller in Michigan*and they did "Prop Scan". This is the best thing I have ever done! My*Californian now cruises at 17MPH and reached a speed of 23 MPH on my GPS*last weekend with NO vibration at all. The cost was high ($600) but well worth it.*I don't have fuel consumption gauges but noticed that I did not burn as much*fuel as normal on*my*94 mile round*trip. (gas 454's)*

600 bucks is cheap!!!! In comparison, what kind of performance were you getting before the conditioning?

 

[douglas]

pretty good I thought. slight vibration etc...

it is a completly different ride now, I can't recommend it enough.

sounds like I work for them or something!

love the mainship line, I had a 1979 Mainship 32' before this boat.

Thanks man. It has been a good boat so far. Looking for something a little bigger. Have always been very fond of the Californian 38/43!!!

Hey I know this is an old thread but what size/pitch/blade props were you running?? I have an 85’ 43’ with 454’s..have not run her yet but just had the three blade 20x16’s refurbed.
