Re: turbo three blade by precesion

There are several Turbo 3 blade props. For the moment we'll assume the prop is a standard Turbo I 14 1/4 x 21. If so, that prop is about a step up from the SST II (we'll further assume you have an SST II, not an SST I). It has good lift, most folks compare it to a second generation OMC Raker (not the Raker II).

As we discussed, there's only so much that's going to happen with that hull design. If it were me, I'd sure give the T-1 a try. A lot depends on the condition of each prop and if either or both props have been reworked before. Assuming both are in good shape and neither has been reworked, I'd expect some improvement. I would not expect a huge improvement. If you do get a huge improvement, that's a bonus.

If your SST is the older SST I and is worn, and the T1 is in good shape, yes - I think you'll see a great improvement. If it's worn to the point they won't work on it anymore, you're making a good choice.
