Throwing it out there to the local guys. Anyone know of or have any SSM V or VI props I could use for a day? Would be willing to pay a non-refundable deposit just to get an idea of what I need. I will take care of shipping, or come pick up.

16.5"-17" dia
29-34 pitch
4 or 5 blade - cleaver style prop

Also if anyone has this setup, what is a good target prop?
1990 Top Gun - non-stepped
SSM 5 drives, even with the bottom, on 12" boxes
Notched transom
1.5 : 1 ratio drive
1080 HP per side @ 5600 RPM


Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am striking out here. Thank you!

Saber Marine / Doug, your PM is full,,,
in response to your message.
OK, what pitch? I am going to test hopefully this weekend. I will let you know if I plan to purchase after I know more about what the boat likes, I appreciate the response!

I bought my props from Doug, non molested and like new. great deal!
17 3/4 x 27 4 blades is what I have with 900hp.

Have you ran the boat yet? And what propellers you run now and spin them in or out? Is the boat loose in the nose?

We plan to run it Sunday. I have two sets: 4blade 16.75" x 32 pitch, and a 5 blade "?" that I am not sure. Will report back, should provide a good baseline and then I can determine what to buy next week.

No, have not run the boat, 4 year project, setup has changed 100% from when I got the boat.
