I've done quite a bit of research trying to locate a prop for the spartan I just bought. I'm being pretty picky in the fact that I want a stainless prop with 3 blades. Most everything I'm seeing with Octura, grim racer and the likes really only come in 2 blade. Can someone recommend one that I may be missing?

First off why do you want a 3 blade and second are you running stock electrics? Pretty sure your only 3 blade options are going to be an Octura, an ABC, or a CNC. Im sure someone else will chime in. I had better performance using a 2 blade vs a 3 blade on mine. 3 blade went a few mph faster but cavitated like crazy and ran alot hotter.

3 blade is my personal preference. I'm running factory electronics with a larger cooling jacket and the dual pick up system. Temps really shouldn't be an issue.

Looking at making a purchase in the swap section. Could anyone help me out on these props?

maybe the SS prathers 230,235 or the x450 3 blade i would think

Hi, I don't know if you have found a prop yet but I have a Spartan myself, all standard, electonics, flex cable and rudder. I have a balanced and sharpened Prather 215 and that made a significant difference. I could be wrong but I wouldn't go any more on 6s ( I'm assuming your running 6s) and standard running gear. I've been using it regularly for the last two years no problems, good luck.
