Prop Recommendations - SS w/280

[mikesufka]

Gentleman -

Any recommendations for a good all around prop? Just purchased an Allison SS2000 Excel / 280 SS (consumer box - 7750 limiter). No organized racing. Usually will run solo or with one passenger - cruising and top speed runs.

Thanks,

MDS

28 or 30 ET work real well

Hey Cleinmark -

Something like this?

They look fast. Faster than anything you'd have for sure. All your props are "rats".

Et's work great the Hoss's are good too. My SS seems to like the 14" Dia props the larger pitch props don't take a set as well as the smaller ones (on my hull). To get good numbers with a 7750 limiter you will have to run a 30 pitch. I would try to find some 1.75 gears and try them.

Call Todd . . . .

I found this 12 x 12 too be a little to stiff for my barge, so you don't even want to try it on your potato chip, Mike. The hub hardware was a LARGE investment, too.

I think he needs a BAHA and he could wear that on his gold chain....And Russ send you pictures tomorrow

Call Todd . . . .

Although you didn't ? What a tool.

Hoss Triton. Although with a stock box you will probably need a 30. My 28 will turn about 8100 which is 105-106.

Had it for over 10 years. ET's are good too, but they seem more prevalent to break.

I think I'm getting a 29 SRX from Gilmore. I also thought I'd call Todd @ Hydromotive.

I have a 15 X 32 Merc Cleaver that I ran on my now sold Spectre 30. Think that 280 will be able to spin that?

 

[mikesufka]

Cleaver worked great on my old Grandsport.

What pitch Hoss Triton - 28 or 30 ?

I own the 28 triton prop that was on the GS Russ owns now . It ran over 100 with a 280 .

Give me my prop back!!haha. . .
