I wonder how many of us 'ships' passed in the dark at that show.

With all this discussion about which prop to purchase, pitch, size, etc, I
might also suggest you invest in a SS shaft and dripless shaft seal like the
PYI PSS.  Most feathering props are heavier and with more thrust expect more
vibration and more xmission, strut and cutlass bearing wear.  The SS shaft
is much stronger and will cut down on vibration, wear and tear on your drive
system.  I made the change and what a difference.  Cost is $1,000 parts plus
labor but pay now or pay later.
