    I did not notice a change in top speed but it is much smoother and quieter. It also seems to accelerate better on the water . Time will tell on durability

    Does it look weird Jay? I thought from photos they looked more like chop sticks than a prop. I have my new 4-blade going on next week.

    Butt don't forget that ICON wants an additional $5500 if you also want the weight increase - $12000 total I've been told.
