Anyone tried a Solas prop?
 
The 25 pitch Turbo 1 didn't work on my boat. So, I am trying a 24 pitch. But, I am also thinking about trying the new Solas High Rake Titan 3-blade prop in a 24 pitch.

Has anyone tried one of these?

Have you ever tried an attwood or Michigan Wheel Ballistic prop? I might have a 23 pitch laying around. Where are you located. they are pretty fast props and give good control on some applications.

Rookie, I have not tried a Ballistic. I am just starting the testing. It looks like I need something close to the Viper but with a little more pitch. I think I am going to need a 24.

What's the diameter of the 23 Ballistic you have and what does it fit? I have a 1996 Volvo Cobra SX drive, 19 spline.

Thanks

I forget, it might be for an OMC.
I think we used it on a merc for testing once, the guy just turned the lock nut upside down and and made a few passes. He then bought one.

My Volvo SX is a 19 spline. If that's what you have I'd be interested in trying it.

Once I find it or find out who has it, I will send it to you and you can see if it fits,

The four blade Titan high rake works well on my boat.

Prop came today but it's the wrong prop. They sent me a 22 pitch instead of a 24. :(

I'm going to try it anyway and see how my boat responds.

SFOcean, how does the 4-blade lift the bow?
