    General prop recommendations for hydros

    I was just wondering what kind of props I should be looking for, for a scale 25 inch hydro? Should it be an Octura v9 series or something more general like an x4 or y5 series? Do I need a lot of rake in a hydro prop? I know there are some other race prop manufacturers out there, so which prop would give me the best all around performance for a hydro?

              Dude, did you read his description of the boat? That will not work, he will burn it! X 435-440 for a hull that size, especially if he is not racing.
