Andy:
I would be sticking my neck out here but I believe most of the C&C's
built were under powered because they are all, first and foremost,
sailboats. That said, a few more HP couldn't hurt.
My boat is under powered (2GMF) (HP not close to HP per 32 feet) if I
had to motor into a good wind and sea.....I wouldn't get anywhere in a
hurry has been my experience.
And changing props wouldn't significantly change this basic fact.

I forgot to mention that I am very happy with my two bladed Max Prop.
Not sure what size it is, but the guys at PYI will know.
Bill, I think the reason the 40 gets away with such a small engine is
that it sails so well. Lesser boats may need the extra horsepower... :)

That sounds woefully underpowered. That boat should have a 37 -- 40
HP engine in it. Anyways. Which might explain why it won't develop
full RPM's
Also need to know what your reduction is. Then, after everyone chips
in and ballparks a prop size & pitch, you will still need to get the
recommendation of the Prop vendor -- that way, when it is not exactly
right, they will, if they are reputable, take it back and resize it.
Unless you are buying one from a third party, in which case hopefully
someone with an identical boat, engine and reduction can fill you in.
I suppose that is what you were looking for before I went and shot
off my mouth. ;^ )

*Subject:* Stus-List folding prop for C&C 40
I am considering adding a folding prop for the boat and wanted to
know if anyone had information on the recommended size of the
propeller and what the size of the shaft might be. The boat is a 1981
with the 27 hp -- yanmar 3HM- the engine is rated for 3200 rpm, but
normally will only go to 2600rpm.
Thanks
