Spinnelli prop
 

Are spinellie props any good?

Pros and cons

They are back in business in ny?

i have been running a 4 blade one on my 23' warlock for 10 years and like it

thanks for the info

mainly I always thought Spinelli was more geared towards the outboard crowd.

My spinellie came with the boat. I really like it. Although the the second owner didn't know the pitch of the prop. The prop is not marked. What is the easiest way to determine the pitch of it

Thanks jj

your welcome, i have tried a bravo 4 blade to compare and the Spinelli gave me more mph across the rpm range and my boat seems to like the 14 1/4 diameter , When i got my boat from my brother in law he had them make the prop for the boat like 12-14 years ago.

Call them and give the # off the prop. They should be able to tell you. I ran a Spinelli Star for a few years on a 750hp bravo application before the bravo 4 blade was produced. Prop performed very good. And was the only prop that would hold together and not throw tip end pieces of the prop off after several hrs of hard use. That was also before xr drives. I trashed several bravo drives, but the Spinelli prop held together and boat performed good. Boat was a 1987 Sport 240 baja. Sold prop to someone on here.

I spoke with dough the owner today and I am going to send him my prop so he can log the prop for me as well as tell me what it is. So if I ding a prop I can call him up and have one in a week with out any hassle of having to fin tune it, my prop has been labed and cupped and tweaked from the original owner to get the right Rpms and performance out of the boat. He also told me what they do different there from other company to make there props much stronger and for them to last longer. It would be to much for me to try to remember and explain what he said, but we had a lengthy conversation on it , and my boat is a 97 and it has held together, I have a 24 ft outlaw sst with a 502 and a m1 procharger that turns at least 650 hp and plus , I didn't build the original engine and I didn't have it dinoed , but. My boat does a clean 80 mph with out trimming it up on a gps. At about 5200 Rpms, so I am very happy with the numbers, and it does everything I want for a family boat, with that prop I can tube at 18 mph with my trim tabs down for the kids . So I am content and happy like I said, and when I have the need for speed it is their also. My bravo 1 drive is holding up good too, I don't drag race with it, but when the mood strikes me I I like to blow by boats once in a while

nice!! i looked at my prop tonight its engraved ( custom prop 1998 spinelli bros rochester ny) my motor made 680 hp on the dyno and i have run a best of 93.3 on gps at 5800 rpms and cruises 55 at 3500

My mechanic said my boat would do over 80 mph, because at that speed we still have more left on the throttle, and we still could adjust the trim a lot more, but 80 mph was fast enough for me for a short period of time. I have a 24 degree dead rise so at high speeds you can feel it tee tore toder alittle because of the gap on on both sides of the hull because of the deep dead rise. What type of set up do you have? Do you boat on Lake Ontario?

im running a 540 na / bravo 1/ 1.5 gear ratio / with the 29 by 14.25 prop . i run my boat on the hudson river mainly and have run it on lake george at the performane weekend simulated race the past 2 years. every year i go on hudson river fall fun run with a bunch of people, its a great time !! you can check it out on you tube sharkey images made 4 videos from a helicopter

Sounds like a blast I will check it out, I live 45 west of buffalo on Lake Erie . I live in Dunkirk.

Hey, Conner. We are almost neighbors, I live in Lakewood NY!

My marina is in cleron. I go to boat works in cleron. But I boat in Dunkirk. We should get together this summer and go boating. My email is [email protected] , give me a shout and we can talk, we could take a trip to sunset or shoot around chautqua lake. I have never taken the boat on that lake unless my mechanic was driving it for a test run. Give me a shout. Also my cell is 716-673-5176

I really liked the 28 Spinelli star blade that came with a 235 Persuader I owned for 4 yrs. The po had it made back in 1997 if I remember by the invoice that came with the boat. It had the lowest slip numbers of any prop i have owned at 9-10%.I wish I would not have passed it along with the boat when I sold it last year. Still looks new, Glad to hear they are back in business.

I am glad they are too. I am going to send my prop to them in the spring. And have them check the pitch for me and record it in there filesin case they have to make me a new one With out the hassle of trying to figure what I need again for my boat
