Hey all, have had lots of comments asking which prop I got and the specs, here’s a link to the prop on the Oz Propellers web site. I have the 11 pitch version… Say hi to Rowan and the team for me😁🤙 www.ozpropellers.com.au/outboard-propellers/yamaha/yamaha-t25-30b-40-50-60hp-3-blade-stainless-steel-power-tech-propeller-scb3/

Man, the Oz Propellors team are absolute legends for hooking you up with that on short notice. Legends.

Your family are all champions for this one! Prop trials in the downpour! What an adventure!

Looking forward to the island hopping adventures again!

Love the new boat, Rokkit! Been watching your videos for some time now. Especially love your island camping ones. After seeing you and your beautiful family on the boat, I had a thought. You should do an overnighter (maybe a few nights? lol) on/in the boat with a catch and cook, all on the boat. Stay safe, brother! Much love from Florida! Jeff

Cant wait to see an island trip with the new boat :)

Ohhhh ho ho ho….that deep blue paint job. I hope that is your nickname for the boat: Deep Blue.

Dude You make this stabi craft boat look SOO GOOD. They should be paying you for these videos. No one - Could ever make an Advertisement as good for this open style stabicraft skiff, that is as good as your videos. I mean that. Second note is just congratulations = such an awesome platform for what you do. Come fish Alaska Sometime! Sterling C Chew - Second Growth Homes

Definitely need a Bimini or something for that bad boy Rod. Makes a world of difference just being able to get out of the sun and weather

I'm 70 years old. I've owned boats must of my life. I own one now. A stainless prop will out do a aluminum prop any day in all ocean conditions. They are a whole lot more expensive. They don't flex so that hit you took on your aluminum prop would had probably ruin your shaft on the lower unit or the main shaft. I've seen it. I think you should check your shafts anyway. But your right in a stainless prop it would had been worse. Tu Amigo Robert Rojas

Can't wait to see a camping vid from this boat!

dude your boats one of the coolest looking nicest boats ive evr seen.... its nothing like what we have here in the southern usa.... its bad ass man

The stainless prop might be the overall winner still, but you might want to throw an estimated payload in to the boat and test again-ie the test in the rain with more people in the boat have been more representative.

Hi Rod, Im a boat owner , i decided to go stainless, and quickly learned the prop is made to take the brunt. Get smart take a extra prop and dont screw your motor, stick with aluminum, for your area, or take the SS to make the trip then switch to the Aluminum for the fish.. Thats what we ended up doing, because you always have a Freshy to make it home.. NICE !!! and thats why i carry goggles and have a bimini top

putting the "sunnies" on before you punch it...whilst saying "let's do this!" got a hard chuckle. well done!!!! keep being you mate! absolutely killing it!!!

Kudos for eating the spilled food. Power/dad moves only!

Be sure that you keep the white prop and extra cotter pins in the boat in the event you ever hit a rock or similar on one of your island trips.

Heya Rod, just wanted to say thanks for bringing these smaller open Stabis to my attention mate, i always only saw their big boats on the water and had no idea these existed. I've been endlessly trying to find something to work towards that was a small boat that could do big boat things and feeling like all the usual ally options just weren't gonna cut it without going over 6m. Then I saw your vid on this new gem and looked into it and am pretty hyped by the new 1550 frontier. Just such versatile little bangers these boats! Thanks again for reminding me to check them out!

To me the standard prop looked like it would push more water therefore in my eyes should work better with a full load in the boat. Whereas the stainless picks up speed and goes lots faster without the load in the boat. Hope that makes sense.

I just love that setup you have there. It truly is perfect for your style of fishing and exploration.

that step up seating in the bow is awesome, I might do that to my boat.

Oh wow, that was a brave family trip, rainy but hopefully funny?! The boat is nice speedy ! cant wait to see you up and away, i hope for good weather and an Island adventure, good luck💙✌

Tony from Christchurch NZ. You have inspired me to get out and enjoy our wonderful coastline. Love your new boat. Living the dream. I've got a truekit 3.3. Love it. so much fun. Keep doing what youre doin.

Brave man changing the prop over the water. Knowing my luck I would have dropped it in the mud, never found it again and had to row home. Good looking boat mate.

Great looking boat my man! I enjoy these 'testing' vids. They are interesting to watch. You put in a lot of work editing these and it doesn't go unnoticed. Keep up the great work!

Nice one mate, couldn't of picked a better test day😀. At least you know the self draining deck works well😄😄. Look forward to more videos, keeps me going while I wait for delivery of mine.👍

That is a sweet ride, good on ya. Thank you.

That must have been one heck of a rock. Glad you are able to get it fixed and adventures in the future :)

Lovely boat. What a ripper! Can't wait to see your next adventure trip. Will you be taking more gear now? Any "nice to have" or luxury things you can now take? Cheers, Ryan from Cornwall, England. Love your channel

Cool.... the boat looks awesome and the stainless steel prop is just sleek and fantastic...

Love the new boat! Can’t wait for the new adventures. Mele Kalikimaka to you and the family.

Can't wait to see a trip with this beast!

Beautiful boat, Lovely family!!!

Hay mate been commercial fisherman a lot of years be careful running a stainless prop only have to tap the reef or a rock and can destroy ya gear box or drive sharft have a good one mate

One happy family boating running pretty smooth can’t wait for some serious fishing 🎣

Great boat! Ready for new adventures

Quite amazed on how easy that alloy prop broke. I used an alloy prop on my boat for over 15 years bashing it on mangroves, rocks, boat ramps..anyway those stainless props are great 👍

Another awesome video mate! Kudos from Seattle.

Good on ya mate, your content is great. So good to see the rewards for your efforts... Keep the posts coming. I'm not a fisherman, the only thing I catch when I try is a cold 😂 but your videos are inspiring to keep giving it a go. Looks like you have a ball when you go out on your adventures... 🍻

Great video Rod! Keep it up!

Nice to have a couple props Rod. I use my aluminum prop for exploring and low water levels, the damn stainless wont even bend sometimes, but you will tear out gears on a good hit on bottom structure.

Love the new boat....The Holeshot will be much better with the Stainless Steel Prop. Enjoy the new boat, Love your channel

Family day out eehh , prop test !! My word your weather perception is excellent, Torrential Rain and windblown, the icing on the cake when mum comes back from the bakery, yu drop the cream bun on the deck. Oohh man , Those boys are Gunna be up for this, dunno bout mum though think she's Gunna leave it to you boys, also buy them a small cast net pronto, you won't regret it later ,livies rule same as prawns.

Being waiting for you to use the new boat. Can't wait to see you use that boat in the ocean.

I think the S/S props just bend if they get hit. While the alloy one's chip or explode. I think the S/S ones can be repaired/straightened. This boat is sooooo very different to the red boat from just two weeks ago. You're already talking about baby marlin fishing. Go Rod! One day we're going to see you on InnerTube as a grey old wrinkly man in some HUGE Stebercraft, or what ever the latest fishing boat monster is!

Mate those sunnies look really cool on you. I recon you have found your new look

your boat looks mint bro perfect color combo'

What a little rockit mate!! She skips along a bit . Nice work rod .

Just from a video/content perspective, I just love how much less shaky the cameras are on this boat than the smaller one, each wave would shake the whole screen before!

Bloody nice boat mate 👍

Bit of a weapon!!! You sure do know how to pick your boating weather that looked gloriously damp hahahaha. Pole cam getting good shots too!

Can't wait to see you do a solo trip on your new boat mate... epic

Can't wait to see you do a fishing trip on the new rig

Indeed a little Bimini top for that

That deck wash live bait setup is unreal 🤩🙏how good is that , hope you get the million tablet as soon as possible from KZfaq Rod many blessings over Xmas to your beautiful family

That is a lovely bit of kit, i have been cruising through your back catalogue and love your content, i am in the uk and we are not as lucky as you guys with the weather but still manage to get a few fish, i have a small sib i use but am really thinking of upgrading a bit, thanks for your content....

Oz propellers… you totally rock.

Looks like I have a new dream boat

Love it mate great content 👍❤

Nice rig Rod!

Mate, that is one hell of a swanky boat. I'm jealous.

Great Setup! 💯You might want to have a variable switch on the bait tank to get a better control of the flow! Some bait gets beat up with heavy flow! You can also put a baffle in the tank to stop water from going back and forth! Take It Easy

Reminds me of taking my wife and two kids out on my flats boat in Florida. If its summertime we usually get soaked at some point.

I have done a lot of testing with a similar rig. I was sponsored by PowerTech Props during testing. You will find that the PowerTech prop is cupped which makes it function like 1 pitch higher than the same pitch in a straight prop. I run the exact same PowerTech prop, same pitch when heavily loaded and run 5,900 rpm. Moderately loaded I run a 12 pitch at 5,900 rpm at 31 to 34 mph. Lightly loaded I run 13 pitch PowerTech and can reach 36 to 37 mph. My boat is lighter than yours. FYI I get about 9 miles per gallon with heavy load in moderate seas. I can get 12 mpg with moderate load in calm seas. Good luck with your project, I believe you have the best PowerTech prop for your application! That 11 straight pitch is allowing the motor to over rev. You could likely go a bit faster with a PowerTech 12 pitch, but it wouldn't be good for all around usage. You got very similar results in your testing as I did.

Great test. I’ll have to hit up aus prop as I need a new prop for my saltwater series.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="884">14:44</a> Twahn's towel 🤣 I need to get one like that!

That's a nice boat.

Hoping to see soon a new island-camping video with rhis new boat

Love that boat

Wicked, Rod.

Hey bud. Awesome vids. This is a great one for me as I have a f40 on my tub as well. Have you posted the pitch specs in the comments? I think I may go the same prop as you thanks to this video. Keep up the great work mate. Always look forward to your vids 👌

being able to wash you deck down with pressurised water is invaluable , no smells or slip hazards far from home.....nice one.

similar luck to timmy turtle with his new outboard! good luck in the future lookin forward to seeing some island adventures mate!

Have you considered putting the livey tank on the rear duckboard behind? Keeps the deck that little bit more clear, extra space is always a bonus in a tinny. Plus any excess overflow will not spill on deck. Just a thought

Beware of stainless propellers, because that's a small engine, and you can damage the shaft or the gear box. For those engines it's a good idea aluminum propellers....

Great set up mate. I was told SS props don't give when hit and can damage your gearbox, I'm not sure if that's true or not. I stuck with alloy on my 50 Suzuki mainly because I couldn't afford a SS one. Can't wait for your next adventure.

Definitely island lol love those types of videos

I love that boat... ✌️😀🚤

The new boat looks sharp! Glad you got the new prop on and tested. Can't wait to see where we go with you next! - Also, was that a shopping cart off the shore, by the bridge?

I am jealous of that Trailer! probably best looking trailer I have seen for a while! Are you going to do any flush system install on trailer?

There are flowrite livewell kits you can get that are very clean. I had one on my tinny and no water leaks.

You can see the vast difference in them props. That stainless one should pick up speed lots faster. Good to see the ten second rule applies on the boat too late. Can't waste half a cream bun 😂😂

Great vid. Maybe leave the hose curled up in the bottom of the yak when filling?

Those sunnies do suit you! Also your boat is faster than the boostedboiz boat lol

I dig marine worms in Maine in the u.s. this boat and ur setup would be perfect for getting around to mudflats some of them are little bit out ther around some islands

I changed my prop yesterday on my new Yamaha as well. I'd probably stick to the alloy tho as you have already hit something and the places you visit are extremely hazardous. If you hit something with a stainless prop all that damage is caused inside the motor. Just my thoughts

Making the family sit in the rain to doa prop test. Epic hahaha

Boat looks sick. I made a similar bait tank for my old 4.3m stessl out of a 40l drum, worked great. Only thing I’d say about yours is, is the plastic UV stabilised? if not, may not last.

You should always go for service check after such incident. Just to be sure that hit to the prop did not damage the prop stem or something else. Just minore change can do a lot regarding the engine performance.

Waw sampai rontok kipas nya om😮

Loving the content mate! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the new boat. Hey, could you give us a quick rundown on the Simrad console and how it integrates with the outboard?

Live bait fridge, or space to cool a couple of beers.. I leave the choice up to you. Don't let me down 😄😄

Back to Saturday videos, normal releases again. How's the merchandise coming along? The "nice" long sleeve is a great fit.

I love the new boat and cannot wait to watch her maiden voyage!!!

, very nice!!

Was hoping we’d get a video today!!

Would be nice to share a link since the prop guys looked after you...

Love that little livewell Rod. I might steal that idea. What pump have you used?
