    Differences between props

    Ok, so I would like to know how to choose the right prop for each boat.
    (trying to learn here)

    So the Octura M ,X ,etc... -what does these mean? -they all look so different.

    What is preferred , size or pitch? -Will the less pitchy but bigger prop be better for electronics then smaller prop with more pitc ?

    And what about the shape? -Some are pointy and others look like spoons, why?
    (lets stay on surface piercing props here)



    Lets start with an example here:

    On my Delta 29 copy and (XL, himodel 200A esc on 4S lipo) what prop would be the reliable and fast one to use ?

    The M445 that Ken uses on his delta copy looks like has good speed and ok Amps, but what makes that prop good?

    I really like Prather s220 , do you think it is too much? (I have the s215 also)

    I have read this http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ead.php?t=4159 ,but is there any info of just props somewhere?


    So any links and info is welcome here!
