HI and welcome,
I run an octura x472 on my boat (a 48 inch deep V with a 26 zenoah like yours) what kind of boat is yours? like a hydro, outrigger, cat, V
Im guessing the props you mentioned are prather props, I don't know much about those.
the prop I run works great, just a little cavitation when i punch it form crusing speed, but it only lasts for like a second. ( i run a surface drive by the way)

Offshore electrics is great to work with. Just contact Steve V (goes by pagemaster here in the forum) & he'll help you in any way he can. Helpful, great prices, fast shipping. NOTE: They are closed until June 8th so they must have a boat meet or something that they went to. http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/member.php?u=24657

Steve has probably left for the NAMBA Electric Nationals/Michigan Cup race in Milford, MI so that's why he is closed for a week. You can try www.fastelectrics.com in Australia
