For a metal prop i think a y535 is about as close the stock prop your going to get http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=oct-y535. I think it's 1/8 drive on that boat.
FYI that prop needs to be sharpend and balanced. -
Guys say the X435 is a good prop for it.Comment

are you using the stock ESC? Lipo's? If so don't get the X535 as it will kill the ESC, read the thread on the Shockwave 26 brushless started by Darrin, a few people tried it and burnt the escH&M Drifter L, AC Lightning Cat and a Graupner Jet Sprint waiting to be builtComment

You should ditch the esc anyways. Stock esc is garbage if you look at that thing the wrong way
esc is really limiting any potential that boay may have JMHO

I replaced mine with a 60A seaking, I still sent the stock one back to be replaced, I'm sure I will find something to use it in. I also had to replace the motor as the shaft is bent, I replaced it with a 3300KV Turnigy.

Smart man, put that stocker in the swap shop or on flebay use that money for another seaking
How's that turnigy working out for ya?Comment

couldn't tell ya. I've had it in the boat for 2 weeks now but haven't been able to try it yet because of a bent prop shaft. I don't have a clue how I managed to do it but I bought a new one, PRB2507 according to the manual, and it's too short! Product support says the right part is PRB2813, they kind of talked down to me saying that there are 2 different Blackjack 26's, nitro and electric and the 2507 is for the nitro. I replied saying thank you but are you sure that is the right part for the SHOCKWAVE 26 brushless I asked about, that was last week and they haven't got back to me yet. lol I did order the 2813 anyway, $6 and it will be in tomorrow.How's that turnigy working out for ya?H&M Drifter L, AC Lightning Cat and a Graupner Jet Sprint waiting to be builtComment

yeah my stock esc went up in shortly after i got it horizon is sending me a new one but i think im gonna be puttin it up for sale since i ordered a 105amp one,also found out after the esc burnted up my shaft was also bent,so me and a buddy made a new shaft and stuffing tube it turns very smooth now,got to test run it the other day with my buddys esc and the boat runs way better than it did out of the box,was not very impressed with itout of the box 
,but with a lil work it is a nice,fast boat

Hey guys, another cheap prop to try is the octura y534 plastic prop. Obviously no speed improvements but if you are looking for a cheap prop just mess around with.. it works pretty good. It took about 10 runs to break but bought a bunch from here so have plenty in reserve. Broke 2 stock props within 5 minutes.
Also, got a X435 2 blade and it works great. I have had no esc problems (knock wood), just some adjustments to the driveshaft but nothing major. I am a newbie to the hobby and am hooked. If you want check out a vid I put together of it running, here you go.

esc ?
What 60 amp esc did you use one for two bat set up or what?Comment
-
it's a 60A Seaking V.2. It is still running the single 2 cell lipo, the only difference is that it doesn't after running for 45 seconds.

esc ?
Was it fairly easy to program?Comment

it came programmed for lipo's and the other parameters seemed ok. You need the programming card/box to change anything (usually $10 shipped) and they are real easy to program with it.H&M Drifter L, AC Lightning Cat and a Graupner Jet Sprint waiting to be builtComment
