its a 25 cc weedy and my boat is made of luwan plywood, it will propabably weight between 10-15 when finished with motor and everything else inside. 46 46 inches long it looks similar to a EASY VEE from zippkits.

Hi,
One of my first woodys with a weedy engine used some of the Octura X series props. Started with an Octura x467, to x472. These seemed to be ok, they are not a lifting prop.
Hope this helps.

well, i also was wondering what style of drive should i use. Its a deep v hull design that i made myself. I know the struts are for the hyrdos and the stinger drives are for the VEE's. Does it really make that big of a difference?
