[thomas erb]

I got a shovel nose hydro I'm putting a picco 90 what prop would be good for it

62 + 80. Best prop I have used on a shovel nose.

The prop I have for it is a prather 260 how dose that compare ?

 

[Hydro Junkie]

A Prather 260 specs out at 2.52" X 3.9" or roughly a cross between an Octura 662 and 665. The pitch matches the 662 and the diameter matches a 665.

So would this prop work with this set up

 

[thomas erb]

So dose anybody know ?

 

[SayMikey]

Thomas, I've got around 8 boats and about 60 props but what I do not have is a 60 size hydro with a 90 size motor. I do know that the round nose boats like a lifting prop like the 1400 series Octura. Mr. Schindler is probably right on the money(1462). Put the 260 Prather on it and give it a go. You will know if it's too much prop if it does not want to launch.
