Lookind for a used B1 26
 
Wrecked our labbed finished B1 26 yesterday, dragged it along the bottom of the lake. Looking for another prop. We have a 2000 Checkmate 259 with an ugraded 454MAG about 460HP and 485lbs at 5000RPM. We need a prop that takes some of the porpoise out of our hull design and will run 5000-5100 at WOT. If there are any other props out there that will accomplish this I am all ears. Thanks in advance.

Sounds interesting. I sent you my email address. What boat, power and rpms did you run this prop? Why are you selling it?

I was looking for a used 26p Bravo last week.

I had several offers from OSO members from $350-400 plus shipping.

I found a nice one on Ebay for $275, plus $15 shipping.

I think an Eliminator cat will take the porpoise out of your Checkmate! :boat:

b1 4blade
 
If you haven't found A prop yet I have one you might be intrested in. It's a bravo one 4 blade, 26 pitch. It was labed finished by Throttle Up. It was set up for my Checkmate 259 Convincor. I had A little cup taken out of it to try to stop the porpoise and serious chine walk at speed. It workgood with my last set up, but I upgrade to A 580 CI. 690 HP. I can't use it now.

I found a prop shop that thinks they can fix mine. If they can not I told Vinny (454MAG) I would buy his. If these two options don't work I will be interested. What prop are you running with 690HP? How does the boat handle with the motor upgrade? Do you have hydraulic steering and performance tabs?

prop
 
IMCO hydrolic steering, Dana trim tabs. Also upgraded to a XR drive. My boat still has a slight porpoise problem, I think it's caused by a too high X dimension. Checkmate used A high X dimension to gain more top speed. Mine was ordered with what I think was A 1/4" higher than what Checkmate normally uses.
