        We supply a large range of model boat propellers. Most propellers are made to order however we do keep a selection of popular scale props.

            The first PDF has all the data in it.

            For something like this it would be, 42mm, 1.7 pitch, 3 blade, righthand stainless.

              Example 6717/3 3 blade 67MM X1.7 pitch ratio so 67 X 1.7 =113.9 MM 113.9 X .0395 gives you inches 4.49905 pitch

                    No comparion between a Prop Shop B/S and what I do. Props shop props are tumbled that is all I will say. If you need a custom prop e mail me thanks chris

                        I found that Barr cutting a prop on fe is a waste of time. It produced slower speeds on the same boat on the same prop on the same day. I think what works on ic engines where their affected greatly by increase or decrease in torque levels will deff benefit from Barr cutting. But i dont think fe are affected anywear as much by increases of torque apart from the obvious higher amp draw & more load on the esc. Thanks.

                          Propshop props come very raw with little done to them,they claim sharpened and balanced but they are not in my opinion.They are great props but need working,my advice is get one from Chris theres no comparison between how they come from them and the ones Chris has worked on.

                            The Propshop ones i got from them a couple of years ago you had a choice of raw finish or polished which was an extra cost. But their was no sharpe & balance. The polished ones were exactally that just polished. Thanks.
