He has a friend who is 1/2" below hull line, with the same prop. Both report no problems so far. I keep wondering how they are getting away with this. One is running 670 hp at over 119, and the other almost 800 at over 130. They do run in calm water, and, of course, the boats are light, comparatively speaking to your typical offshore V-hull.

Wow - scary. Any damage? Were they all stock props or modified/lab'd?
Do you have a shorter X-dim or do you just launch off waves as much as possible? The props always crack and then tear from the trailing edge of the blade, midway down. I have had one crack, one with a blade completely gone, and one with a blade hanging off. no damage to the drive other than a small knick where the blade hit the cavitation plate. |

Now you guys are going to be jealous. I just got an email from a friend with a 21' Daytona with 682 hp. He said he's had no drive failures (Imco SC), and no prop failures even though the prop shaft is only 2" below the hull. His buddy with 800 hp, and prop shaft only 1/2" below the hull has been running the same prop for 9 years! They also do full throttle hole shots. As an engineer, I have been trying to figure out what the magic formula is. The only thing I could come up with is 1) light boat so not heavily loaded most of the time, and 2) prop rarely leaves the water (they only do lake and delta boating). If anyone else has some theories, I'd love to hear them. Michael |
The magic formula is the amount of/lack of weight its pushing and the smooth water.
I think my freind who owned a 42 Fountain poker run with a very high x dim and stock 525efi's threw blades off 2 or 3 props in less than 50 hrs. |
