Anyone try a Ron Hill Semi Cleaver ( Calls it a Mitch Hardy) on a Voodoo or similar boat? How did it run. He has a couple on EBAY in a 12x20" 13 spline size for sale. My son's Voodoo with 50hp Evinrude is only used for lake running, not racing. Any other idea's for a prop? Definitely having trouble finding a used prop. Thanks |

I had one...worked fine but she was slow compared to the merchant cleaver. |

What is a merchant cleaver? Just looking for a good all around prop not a top end one... |

Merc Cleaver is a great all round prop. Bit heavy on torque steer but the way it bites makes it worthwhile. |

Is a Merc cleaver over hub or through hub? If through hub would it fit a small gearcase OMC? Are the Merc cleavers easier to find? DoktorC, how was the Ron Hill semi cleaver for taking off and just cruising around? Thanks for the info guys! |

The merc is a thru hub but they're usually very expensive. Its easier to find an inexpensive OMC cleaver which likely works better on your OMC anyways. I used mine to get from our ramp to the dock..I never really cruised in the boat lol. Hole shot was fine though. |

For what it's worth, a Merc cleaver sucked on the VooDoo I had. 70 Nissan, long time ago. Very slow to plane and 10 mph slower than an SRX. My boat ran 57.6 on the rev limiter. |

There is a huge amount of difference between good and bad props on these boats. I think an OMC cleaver is probably easiest to find used and obviously the Ron hill is easiest to afford new. I would have given my left nut for any of those props when I was 14 and was stuck with a stock suzuki stainless with no cupping lol. |

Thanks for all the good info guys. I will keep an eye out for a used OMC cleaver over the next few months, if I can't find one by the summer then a Ron Hill it will be. |
