nice boat ygrowup, mines a 1982 scarab deep v wave crusher. when i switched from a 3 blade prop to a brovo 1 four blade prop the diference was unbelievable, was wondering what prop your using and if anyone has tried a 5 blade prop on these old deep v boats
What pitch 4 blade. |
im using brovo1 24's 15" diam., that were customized. maybe to a 25. running 572's with 630 h.p. i did the konrad coversion. the prop guy had to put a lot of cup on the props to grab, he said my props are too high. im thinking i might benifit with a 15 3/4"diamiter maximus 5 blade. but there too much $ to try and get no more performance than i already have.

That tells me that the 26's that I picked up probably are to big for my motors. I might try them anyway, but I don't want to blow a trannie using them. Thanks for the info.

i love these Konrads,, I had a problem eating drives, from bad driving habits and the xtra Hp. I also put the BIG borg warner trannies in. So far sooo good. if the 26's dont work for you im interested in them. are they 15 1/4 diam ?

Yeah, they are 26 pitch hydromotive. I won't test for a couple of weeks because I just blew an engine saturday. I have to re build it irst. Send me an email to [email protected] so that I can remember you after I test them. |
