Hey Shawn,
That prop shaft looks obscenely too long. Check other boats at the yard and you
will see only an inch or two of shaft between the actual prop body and the
strut. Some space is required to allow water to exit the cutless bearing which
is how it stays cool and lubricated. I'd want to

Thanks Don, this is great info, and I will certainly question the owner on
this if we get to that point. They've had it for 3 years and have cruised

an issue with vibration, he would have noticed. If it comes to a sea
Hi Bruno,
Yes, the Niagara 35 (newer Encore) has been on our list ever since we saw
some YT videos of a couple cruising on one - the newer layout looks ideal.
The older layout is spacious, but quite different from anything I've seen
in this size.
Just got back from viewing it, and it's been well
Shawn, the Niagara 35 is a very solid, well built in my opinion and seaworthy
boat. Pretty roomy for a 35 of that era but you are right, the layout is not
for everybody.
I don't know your program, BUT the Niagara is painful and does terrible angles
upwind. It's just a different sailplan
Shawn,
Just went outside to look at Fireball's prop /shaft. She is close to
the original arrangement that came from the factory with the Atomic (now
rebuilt 2x). She has newer replacement Martec 2 bladed folding prop
that is 1 5/8" aft of the strut with a radius that meets the recommended
Enjoy dreaming.

Thanks all for the good info. According to the specs, the boat has a 1"
shaft with a 3 blade bronze prop. There is a spare 2 blade elliptic with
shaft. What I am not sure about is whether this photo is with the 3 blade
or 2 blade prop. I suspect the 2 blade prop and shaft are from the previous

Hi Shawn,
I had about 4" over hang between the cutlass bearing and the prop hub
on the 35-1. It was necessary to move the prop aft and get hull
clearance when repowering and going to a larger prop. No sense in
putting in a large engine if you can't put that horsepower into the
water

Good point Neil. I had to put a 3 blade prop on my 35 Mk II. A two blade
prop would get the blade tips too close to the hull (which would also cause
vibration). Shawn's boat appears to have a 2 blade prop and an extended
shaft to get the blades away from the hull. Not a good approach in my
My 35 Mk II had about 3" between the strut and the prop. 12" is very long
and could possible contribute to vibration. I can't imagine why someone
would do that.

Shawn,
My 35-1 has about 4 inches of shaft between the strut and the front edge
of the prop. Maybe the 35-2 has a different placement of the strut and
prop than the 35-1, but I would agree whats on that boat seems a bit
longer than desirable. Can't quite tell from the photo but it appears
I just noticed what appears to be a fairly long extension of the prop shaft
beyond the support on the 35-2 pictured here:

It looks like there is at least 12" of shaft beyond the support before the
prop, and bit
