In what diameter are they available? Maybe we could could have a pair splined for my #6's!
;-)
Due

Cord,

It will give us something to look forward too!

Julie

Due,

The diameter is 15 1/4. However with the #6's the bullet is smaller and the can of the prop will not sit well. I wish I had something new to offer you. What size and type of props are you running now?

Julie

Julie-
I was wishful thinking!
:doggy:

Currently running 17.5 x 35 (max cup) 4 blade Labs.
My latest project (still unfinished) has the drives mounted high and I'm concerned about getting on plane and slip. I might have to add boxes, but was hoping to avoid doing so.
Thanks
Due

This quad rotor boat needs more prop. Turning a 34 P way more than 6k with 1.32 ratio drive. has a very high X. Think it is a good candidate? We are testing MOFO's

:D :D



***VIDEO HERE***

Infomaniac,

Your slip is way too high! The Bravo 1 prop just isn't up to the task, in your application it's just out of it's element.

I would expect a six blade, with the proper slip for your application, to turn 5800@122mph. It should also help to bring your bow down a little bit. After looking at your video I think it would help to bring the bow down just a little. It was at the point where I was thinking fly-over!

With the six blade you may need a new gps speedo!

Your video stated you are running a stock Bravo drive. These props have the XR hub welded in. If you are running the smaller prop shaft these won't work for you. In your application a large prop shaft would be in order with a 5 or 6 blade, the prop hooks up so much harder than a 4 blade it's too much stress on a standard shaft.

We would be very interested in testing these props on your boat. Give us a call.

Maximus...
 

Hey Julie,
any word yet on when the Maximus is going to become available and in what pitchs?
Thanks,
Dave

NO still no word on the Maximus from Merc.


But the good news is:


I have another set of Prototypes coming my way and they are exactly what we need for you! I will stay in touch!

I will post a picture as soon as I receive the prop!

Stay Tuned!

Julie

Thanks, can't wait!!

Thanks for the analysis. The GPS speedo was malfunctioning in that video. The boat runs 130 with the prop it has now which incidently was bought from you by the owner of the boat Randy Shipman. It will have a new upgraded drive before it goes out in the spring. Let me know if the new prop might be better. The builder of the boat says too much stern lift makes it too loose at those speeds. It will fly the nose much higher than that and stay in the water.
