Anyone have any experience or input on the Sensenich carbon fiber prop (2GOMX) 76inch? Looking at replacing my Prince carbon fiber Prop on my Elite O-360 on Floats with this Sensenich prop since the carbon fiber is delaminating from the wood core on the Prince. Any inputs greatly appreciated. Will lose or gain take off performance, etc.
Thanks and greatly appreciate all your inputs.

Sounds like it may be the same GA prop that has been discussed a bit on Supercub.org. I think they are saying its an 82 inch prop, so maybe you are looking at a different model. They do say it can be easily shortened though.
I have a NIB Prince that I plan on putting on this year... sometime. (need a spinner)
But after reading the thread on SC.org, I am really intrigued by the GA Sensenich. Good luck! Let us know what you end up with.

How old is your prince prop and how many hours on it? I have a prince P/t prop on 180hp no issue … but only 100hrs.

The Prince Prop. is 11 years old with only 171 hrs. on it. Watch out for delamination like this near the hub. Lonnie Prince said somehow moisture got in. Once cracked more moisture gets in and it gets worse as time goes on.
