Ray,
Are the numbers with a fin or wing keel?

I have the Gori 3-blade and am quite happy with it after nearly three
years.
We've found it to make quite a difference in the boat's performance
under sail.
Below are measurements I made after I first got the prop (15 x 10) -
averaged over two runs (BK = boat knots)
RPM BK/SOG Overdrive BK/SOG
1300 2.9/3.2 2.9/3.2
1500 3.4/3.8 3.5/3.8
1700 4.2/4.4 4.2/4.3
2000 4.8/5.0 4.7/4.9
2300 5.5/5.7 5.7/5.9
2500 5.8/6.1 6.0/6.2
2800 6.2/6.4 6.5/6.7
3100 6.6/6.8 6.8/7.1 (max RPM)
3400 6.8/7.1
3450 6.9/7.1 (max RPM)
