    Just a curious prop question

    Just curious
    Who knows what the lowest pitch prop is, lets say for a 4 or 6 cylinder gas engine. Is there such thing as lower than a 9 pitch? I don't care about trolling motors and 1954 1 cylinder motors.
    and on that note, whats the biggest pitch prop. I know i've seen 34's but do they reach the 40's?
    Aluminum, brass, Staineless, but not plastic.
    If I don't ask any questions, I'll never learn anything.

    I think 14" is the smallest I've seen for a v6 it was a four blade for a tunnel boat with a speed master

    Biggest I've seen is 15x34p for v6, of course a propeller shop could probably pitch higher

    9 pitch. That would be fun to just try. I bet its like driving an old muscle car stuck in first gear.

    Haha. Forgot about that part. One of those 18x40's could be had for a mere $5700.
