          Looks to be the same prop Dread has always run, despite the shorter tail. Still haven't seen a full frontal pic yet to be sure. Sept. Fury tried a similar prop and for whatever reason, did not continue with it....

            232 has basically the same prop as Argonaut and Rare Bear. Dreadnought's usual prop is slightly wider. And yes, 232 ran the wider prop in 2007...may have actually slowed it down a bit...better acceleration, less top end.

              Anyone know who built Strega's powerplant, and to what degree it's been tuned?

                I believe that it is the same engine they have used since 2009. Refurb-ed.

                          Finally saw a front-view pic. Tips are painted the same, but confirms that it is a non-cuffed skinny blade prop. So, they did change the prop now that they have a shorter tail...
