Run my Challenger 43 (7½cc) on Octura X447/3 and my Challenger 48 (15cc) on Octura X457/3. These props will not dissappoint you.

I run my 42" with CMB21 geared 2:1 on the 450/3 or if it's very rough the 447/3 but the 45 likes to rev a bit (plus a don't need as much 'grab' out of the corners) so I've found the 235 and a very short pipe does the business.
