Which is better for heavy loads?
Less pitch + more cup? Or more pitch less cup?
Tempest plus has such a huge variance in cupping it’s kinda aggravating because you basically have to fork out a buttload if money buying and trying props. My boat originally came with. 24 tempest, which had tall cup heights basically full length of the trailing edge and curled around the tips heavily. The 23 tempest has very little cupping and doesn’t lift the boat and bow like the 24 did. I sold the 24 due to the boating gaining weight with batteries and gear. Now the with the crappy 23 the boat is slow as a pig. Slip is high, speed sucks and lift sucks unless I run solo. I loose 400 rpm and 5 mph just adding a passenger.

4 blades carry loads best... Or larger diameter 3 blades.
