Spitfire prop Yahoooo

[fluxcore]

Tried a spitfire 4 blade prop on my motor today and holy crapo going with my same pitch it increased my top end from max 36mph to 40mph (GPS) and I have to back down on the throdle or I'll over rev it at 6000rpm :0 Getting on plain is a breeze, it's like your always on it !!! People get this prop u won't be disappointed I promise. I was unimpressed getting on plain...... Found my solution

When I say over rev what I mean is it sits perfectly on peak rpm in wot so if u accedently trim to high u can run into cavitation and way over rev it. Unfortunately this happened to me once so I settle instead of trimming up to high. I really gaind top end with a waaaaay better hole shot.

I can see my wallet getting smaller? I have heard these spitfires are worth the price of admission.

what size motor did you put it on? did you go down to a 12 pitch, cost? intriguing minds want to know LOL

Is that the new prop that merc came out with ?, have heard really good things about it. If i remember correctly they dont have any for the real big hp, something like 100hp and under.

I went from a 13 to a 13 on my 60 and its made a world of difference, no issued with three big guys and two kidletts. Also the new 2012 F-150 ecoboost toes like its not even there, i guess the boat is only like 1000lb dry.

you sure you mean 40 MPH and not 40KPH?

40MPH on a 60 would be the haulingist 60 around for sure.

Where did you get yours? I'm looking for a 10.6 x 12 for my 40hp.

My 2009 Merc 50 with stock prop gets me going 33.5mph on glass water @ 6K rpm. I would imagine that a 60 could feasibly do 40, depending on the weight of the boat, and payload.

hey did you notice which hub kit it came with II or III
what did you have on before?

40 mph puts it at zero slip. The tach may be off a bit and it may be 6100-6200rpm with some slip, but 40mph-ish is definately where you should be with those rpm

I still can't get pics off my iPhone 4gs onto this site it won't copy and paste, photo bucket won't work either? I hit 37 MPH on my new hummingbird GPS at just over 6000 rpm with me and a buddy, two big guys 210lb and I'm 290 fully loaded. With pics. I was lucky to get this by myself in the boat before, and plaining sucked. NO issues now. I know 290 right lol, ah im not fat
