Here are 2 pictures of the recently installed Rolls Royce Griffon engine and its prop.
The plan is that it will get into the water in late spring and should be all ready to "go' in the second weekend of July.
The plan is to take measured data in 500 rpm increments of the engine / prop performance. I'm not quite sure what the data parameterss are, but I guess that boat speed would be one of them, for sure.

Here's the business end - stainless steel, made in Florida.

I think the diameter of the prop is about 10 in.
And yes, the plan is to have the boat , in the water, running, at the ACBS boat show in Gravenhurst, on the second weekend in July.
Apparently, there are other old race boats invited too.
