There are also the 3 blade propellers used in the various adventurers
airplanes, plus the 3 bladed propeller used on the Rock Raiders Tunnel
Transport. The 3 bladed adventurers propeller would probably look the
best for boat useage. There's also the 2 bladed large propeller with
technic axle hole. I used two of these rigged up to a motor and mounted
from a Mega Blocks boat hull and wound up with a boat which steamed the
length of my bathtub fairly well. Unfortuanately, the divers propeller
is the only one which looks like a boat propeller as opposed to an
airplane propeller.
