    Default Searching for a prop.

    I'll start off by admitting I know nothing about RC boats and props. With that said, I met a guy at our local pond with a Pro Boat Recoil 2 18" Brushless Deep-V Self-Righting RTR Boat. I was impressed by how fast it was and now I'd like to buy one. He told me it was bone stock except the prop which he said it was a 32x16 he purchased from OSE. I searched their website and couldn't find anything like that. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing (?) Can someone inform me what i should be looking for?

    Thanks....Dan

    What he meant was a prop with a 32mm diameter (which is the same as the stock prop), and having a 1.6" pitch (the stock prop has a less-aggressive 1.4" pitch). My suggestion would be to email Steve @ OSE, and ask him. He will know what he has in-stock...as well as whether that's a 'good' prop for the 18" Recoil 2, or whether he might suggest something different (such as a 3414, which has a slightly larger diameter than the stock prop, but with the same pitch).

    Depending on where you plan to run your boat, you might also consider the 26" version of the Recoil 2. Yes, it does cost more ($370 vs $200)...but, you'll probably also find it more enjoyable. With the 18", it'll need to be run on calm water. With the 26" version, I believe it can handle a bit more than just 'calm' water. And, before you know it, you'll want a SonicWake, or even something "faster". Welcome to your new 'addiction'.
