Re: Need A Good Prop!!!!
 

Captchuckv,

We need a little more information on the propeller you are currently running. Are there any numbers or names on the prop. If not try to post a picture of it here. With the 454 Mag you need to run your motor at 5000 RPM at WOT. So let's run some numbers for your set-up.

What is your WOT RPM?
What is your WOT RPM MPH (gps)?
What is your drive gear ratio?

Let's run some numbers and get a little closer to dialing you in!

I have a 22p Bravo 4 blade if you're interested. $250

Re: Need A Good Prop!!!!
 

Thanks for all the suggestions....I will get the #'s off my prop tomorrow. i do have to trim way up on the prop i have to turn 5000 rpms.When i do get it to turn that much she starts to porpoise on me. I bought some bennett trim tabs yesterday (9' x 12") that i'm going to install to help with the porpoise problem. I guess what I really want is more speed if I cant have both...(better hole shot and speed) So my guess is going to be a good labbed 3 blade...Any input on this prop = It's a Chad Hill custom 3-blade 24P x 14" diameter? thanks to all for the advice I could never get outside of OSO!!!!!!!

I have a set of Merc Bravo I 's 24 pitch, only 10 hours of fresh water usage that I'll cut you a deal on

What is the make and model of the Chad Hill prop? I am not convinced that this is the best propeller for acheiving your goals.

Re: Need A Good Prop!!!!
 

Chad Hill props are hit and miss from what I have read.

I would buy Harpers 22 Bravo 1, run it, then have it labbed and tweaked. Have some rake added to it for bow lift. 24 Outlaw porpoise easily with 3 blades. Tabs help at cruise speed, but will scrub of speed at WOT.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to spin a 24 Bravo 1 fast enough, unless its cut down and labbed.

Hey Griff....Lets say I do get the 22 brvo I....Any idea what the labbing will cost?
Do you have any input on this Julie? Thanks!!
