A friend is trying to get me to race in the local clubs offshore class races. I have a revolt 30 that is stock and looking to make if faster and more competitive. I know people have posted to use the M445, X440/3 Blade, X442 or the AQ L45x68. I do this hobby for fun and a budget. What prop would you guys recommend to help. I am looking at getting a CNC prop over the berrilium copper for ease and safety with a small child in my apartment. Thanks

With the stock motor, you could go to a m545. If you're worried about finishing the prop at home, order the prop already S &B from Chris (dasboata).

I've got no experience with the CNC props, but my go-to props for my revolt are the m545, m645, and x642, depending on water conditions. I too have small children, I work my props in a well ventilated area away from the kids, wear gloves and mask, vacuum my area thoroughly, launder my clothes when finished, and keep my props in a box away from the kids.
Steve here at OSE sells a good mix of props sharpened and balanced too!
My best speeds were with the m645 at 46.9mph, I've lowered my motor on the stock mount and replaced the stock battery tray and stuffing tube....and that's it!
I still want to flatten the bottom a bit, a really fun boat!
Good Luck!!
