Chris, I have a gori 15 x 10 3rh and am quite pleased with it. It has been
on our boat 2 years. reverse is better, forward is better in that it
accelerates faster, and faster under sail. also less weather helm.

I stopped by the AB Marine booth at the Newport boat show this last weekend
and talked to them about purchasing a Gori 3 blade prop.
I told them how we have all been discussing the proper pitch that people
have found based on experience so I suggested the 15x11 3 blade RH model
based on the "1 pitch higher than factory prop" rule. He wrote to me today
and said this:
"Based on calculations and also other C-320 owners sea trial results the
propeller will be a 15 x 10 x 3RH propeller."
This surprised me as he said the 15 x 10 was found to be the ideal
propeller. Does anybody have the Gori 3 blade 15 x 10?
I know that the some of the people who have the 15 x 11 have said they can't
reach max RPMs so I'm wondering if he is correct.
BTW: I have the 3GM30. Hull #447.
Thanks,
Chris Holt
