CNC vs octura?

are any big name racers or saw guys running cnc props? curious...

Yes, I would say the majority of surface drive racers at the world championships were on CNC props of one sort or another. I would doubt many serious SAWs guys run them, though you can heat treat alloy up to BeCu hardness, heat treated BeCu is going to be a step up again letting you put more power into the prop, maybe the smaller classes like M2 etc. Most SAWs guys here use them but we are not serious about SAWs, it is more about seeing how fast our race boats are going, than building boats to go fast in a straight line.
