Those props look much more up to the job, so let's hope they give Tiger a bit more umph.

HI Tim yes these props are the ones i should have gone for in the first place an yes made from bronce they are as you say more stronger in stature an should give a lot more thrust trouble is these bronce ones are a lot more exspenive than the brass ones so got high hopes for these to cure my thrust probs as two big motors are already fitted an if still not enought power then will take out them smaller johnsons motors an fit in 2 more of them monster motors an then see what happens
cheers

Chris,
They look well up to the task mate. The very best of British when you put her back in the water.
