Red Roar

Hi wonder if anyone can help, have restored a 79 24SE with an old 280 volvo outdrive and want the best prop for it. the engine is a new 290hp goodwrench 5.7 chevy and would sit around the 5200 revs mark
anyone got a clue for a performance prop, make and size ? i am nt racing it but still want the best performance i can get.
thanks

Years ago I was searching for an 18 or 22 Donzi Classic. Ended up with the Pantera instead.
But . . . spent a lot of time on the Donzi.net forums and this topic has been discussed there.

Props do exist for those drives but you might have to hunt.

I sold a ron hill bronze prop for a 280 to Xavier on the board. I think he changed drives.
Try to search the pantera forum and see if you can PM him to see.

It was a really nice prop

i dont want to change drives, just want to know roughly what size of prop ie 20 x 16 or whatever
i just need a rough guide for that leg from anyone using it, what are you running ?

The prop I sold him is for a 280.
He went to a merc drive so probably doesn't need it

what i was after knowing was what size and pitch for that boat/leg/engine/revs would be a good call.

You will want a Solas Titan 19P
It runs like a 21P.

thanks, what is the other dimension to that ? i assume a 19 pitch and then how big ?
i am a bit lost with this. we do have a solas dealer in the UK so a possible but to get anyone at all to commit is almost impossible.

They are 15-5/8 diameter.
