    need some prop advise, somewhat quickly

    I'm getting my order ready for my new boat build and need some help. Since up till now all I've built is jet boats(if you can believe that), and have no idea on what exact prop to get. I got one suggestion for a prop, but I'd like a second or more opinion(s). Only because, why not, the more advice the better.

    So here's the setup
    30" Traxxas Villain hull(brand new)deep vee
    700sc motor(can and brushes are water cooled)
    Jeti Navy 600 esc (water cooled)
    flex drive(.150) with 3/16" prop shaft
    SV27 strut and a speedmaster style rudder.
    16 cell (IB3600's)

    The first suggestion was a, x437. I would like to get decently good prop for higher speeds, but dont want to have to worry about overheating. I dont even know where the x437 falls in those categories.

    Thank you for any help

    That sounds about right as a good starting point but I am still learning as well.
    Many issues!!!

      I would buy a 2317.40 and a 2317.42 both are carbon filled and less money than a x437 3 blade. Both are excellent props for monos of that size and power.
