Just remember that the rpop is everything when you start thinking cheap. It would be like putting crappy tires on a 1000hp race car. Doesn't matter what you got if you can't use it. In a prop you could have alot more problems to if the prop isn't balanced correctly you could chance tearing up even more. I would see where tomuch stuff is located and go and do a test and tune with him and his props and then choose the one you like, or get an adapter then hit up bblades to get something perfect for your boat. Might try calling brett just to see if he has anything laying around the shop 920-295-4435. They even have the test program where you can try different props for $40 a prop then they deduct the test fees off the purchase price if I remember right.

They have nothing in a large diameter.. 15 5/8inch 26pitch 5 blade all they have and won't have it for a week or so. And at that I don't believe it will get me on top of the water. Kyboy

Well squash that idea....cant beleive they don't have any as many performance and race boats as they deal with...try the other guy out.

Getting a propeller is tough but here are a few idea's.

Outboard propellers. I make an adapter to put these on the ASD6 and 1721 drive units.

Hering makes a 15.5" outboard propeller that is a full cleaver 5 blade design. Looks SEXY and can be made to fit your drive.

The old Rolla 3 blade "Record" propellers which we refer to as "Chopper Prop's" or "Elephant Ear Prop's" these are a NiBrial propeller that cost $600.00 each new so they are not expensive and not sought after much as the 3 blades vibrate.

Bravo propellers, the same outboard adapter will fit the Bravo style propellers. Hering makes a new 7 blade so that would be a good prop even-though there is not a lot of diameter, 15.5....

So rik are u saying that 17 is enough prop diameter for him... I know turbo and his setup looks just like the picture on the far right. The unpainted looking boat.....

i would think 17 or 17.5 would be VERY close

Got Hering propellers working on it...

PM me with a number, I'll give you my dad's phone number, he has 2 four blade round ears and a 3 blade cleaver, don't know the sizes, he has been looking to sell.

17" Diameter? Depends upon the blade #. You would be able to get away with more diameter with less blades. Meaning a 17" 3 blade will work better than a 17" 5 blade as the more blades and more diameter cause a lot of stern lift. But then again, I would not use a 3 blade nor a 17" 5 blade.

For the $$ those old 3 blade Chopper Prop's ran very well. There was a company in Louisiana called "Haas Propellers" that made a 4 blade chopper prop in S.S.... They are no longer in business though. Those prop's gave tremendous bow lift and such on boats.

Someone needs to make a 4-5 blade chopper prop. There are a lot of boats with different drives that could use them. They are not for 100+ mph but for boats under 90ish they work wonderfully.

Where can I get old rolla 3 blade "record" propellers for $600 each? I need three...
