It is made for tunnels,has the gumbo cup already casted into the prop. They make it in a 4 blade too but in my experience they are too heavy and loose holeshot. http://www.ptprop.com/index.php?page...mart&Itemid=46
I have the SWC4 and the boat meets all my expectations, it jumps on plane and will NOT cavitate no matter how hard you try and am jacked way up ... That said, I would like to try a 3 blade out for giggles...
