Rick, I have had a MAX prop on Calypso and my last two boats and made 5 Hawaii crossings on MAX prop equipped boats.
In short, the MAX prop performs very well and is durable but is expensive to purchase. Other cnc-listers have spoken well of several competing brands. Calypso has a 3 blade MAX prop. If I was going to race at the top of the fleet the two blade would be my choice. The guys at PYI are very helpful and should be able to answer most questions regarding size and pitch. Feel free to send me an email if you have specific questions about my experience.

I might be able to get the 7-7.3 but my rpm’s are-2400. I think my tach is off (she could be dirty too) and that is why I have the question. What’s your overall opinion on the MAXPROP? Any suggestion on something else, or is that the prop? Raining in the San Juans this AM but getting clearer and hotter in the PM. Heading for the gulfs for the Bluegrass in Chemainus! Wish I could hang out for the rendezvous in Telegraph! Sounds like a great group!
