I would suggest an ABC H-5 or and ABC H-7 also and Octura 1450, if you can pull the other two props. Walt Barney

Start with an H5.

James,

Ask Mike Betke on here, they built the boat many years ago.

We ran X-447's on them with a Texas-Cut on them. The boat was designed

around a X-447, they run the best on that hull. We ran them with great results

back in the 90's.

There were no H-series propellers available when that boat was built.

Thanks,

Mark

nice carb

Thats a carb I had from back in the day. One I modified for my GO's back when I ran them.

Try the 38mm x 63mm lifting prop to start. http://www.aquacraftmodels.com/accessories/metal_prop_chart.pdf

Theses are good running props most over look.

Rodney and Larry,

Back in the day was in the 1990's.

You were still a sprout a bet? LOL!

So you guys know the Aquacraft 44/66= H-4 & the 45/68 is an H-5.

1958 for me, but who's counting. :lol: Back in the day would be when some older boaters I know of would steal the laces out of Grandpas wingtips to fire up their boats, 'cause Sullivan hadn't developed their line of electric starters yet, Some guy named Shaefer with an ornamental iron works shop out east told me about the correlation between several of the aquacraft props with the H series blades, several years ago, but 50X69's and H7's and full blade 1450's have worked so well on my .21 hydro and 7.5 tunnels that I never tried the H5's or H6's. My Blackbird with a top 5 port and a 3280 pipe at 8 1/8" would launch with a Ernie Lafluer modded T2014 but anything other than WOT was not an option.

Larry,

Try the 1914 ?

Or H-7 @ 3.46"

Thanks,

Mark

 

[LarryConrad]

Mark, I'll have to measure up the H7 I have to see where it's cupped at. It ran well on my Blackbird, and was one of the best on my 7.5 Leecraft. Not sure if I tried a 1914 or not.
