I have been searching for a LH 26P Mach Prop for a long time with no success
I had a pair of these counter rotating bad boys and one of them grenaded on my leaving me with just the RH one. Can someone please steer me in the direction on either where I might be able to find another LH 26P Mach, or another pair of Clever props that will match or surpass these on my application?
I have since added a little weight to the boat (about 250lbs towards the stern) and with the new props that I have now (Bravo's) they do not give the stern lift that the Mach's did before and therefore im alot slower on the top end and i don't nearly look as cool with no rooster anymore haha.
Please help me find some go fast and look cool props! Haha Thanks everyone!

I have a 34ft Mirage with 2 - 225 Mercury 2 strokes. With the Mach Cleaver props I got way more stern lift and thus way less drag. With the Bravos it is sluggish out of the hole and definately sits lower at WOT. Basically im looking to duplicate what the Mach Props did for me. I am not going to fiddle around with machining holes in the Bravos. They just don't give me enough stern lift.
Any thoughts?

spinning in pulls the stern down and lifts the bow, spinning out lifts the stern. Also spinning in makes the boat lean a lot more in turns, can be dangerous on some boats. I would try swapping the props and see how it runs. If the boat likes the stern lift it should be easy to feel the difference. Also with the bravos if you want them to spin up a little easier you can sand the first 3 or 4 inches of each blade from the hub out at the trailing edge of the blade to ease off some of the cup and make them bite a little less, just enough to round over the little sharp edge that is there.
Mine are spinning in because I need the bow lift.
