Tortuga's Lie has launched! And........she has a new prop. I went with a 2 blade Varifold 16 X 11 instead of the Flexofold. The old prop was a Martec two blade folding and the new Varifold has made a huge difference in backing up and stopping
In forward, she can make hull speed at full throttle and about 6.4 knots at 2200 RPMs. I was real tempted to go with Flexofold but I never got a response form them. I filled out the online inquiry form.....they e-mailed me an automated acknowledgment, but no response after that. I sent two e-mails to their US e-mail address...again nothing! Varifold on the other hand, every e-mail was quickly responded to, and their sales went through without a hiccup.....so Varifold it was and I have no regrets
Disclaimer: I have no connection with either Varifold or Flexofold.
