Ron Hill Signature 13x27 Hoss. New. Comes with a 13 spline solas removable hub kit and washers. Too much prop for my small gearcase. Could make a great V4 prop!
$325

Very nice, but probably too much for me.

Thanks for letting me try the prop. It is an excellent prop. It rolled onto a plane without revving to the moon and pushed my Baja/115 HO to around 61-62. It's a GPS speedo, but I can't see the tick marks in the 55+ range while driving, so no exact speed. I obtained a lock nut to mount it, which I will give to you when I return the prop. None of your or mine thrust washer/spacer combinations really worked.

Sorry but I won't buy it. It's no faster than my 26 small ear. Admittedly it planes better, but neither prop is going to win any drag races, assuming there was a V4 class.

No prob Dave. Thanks for giving me some test results though! This also may be a good prop to try on a V6 with a 15 spline hub?

I really think this is an excellent prop, and it should be easy to rehub for 15 spline. Or if someone was running a light boat with a V4. Like Ben who bought my 100, he should try this prop.

Thanks Dave. It uses a removable solas hub, so hubs can be changed back and forth.

Also, What rpms did you see compared to the 26 sm ear chopper?

Note: David was seeing similar top speed compared to a small ear chopper!!!!! ...and we all know those babies are known for speed!! :D

I don't think there is more mph for the dollar on my boats than with a small ear chopper, although my $200 29" SRX may prove me wrong.

5300 rpm with the Hoss copy, 5700 rpm with the small ear, same speed, much better planing with the Hoss copy.

Is this prop still around? Ive got a 56cuin long shaft on a lake boat that may LOVE this prop.

I will be seeing "jake" probably this weekend ! I could take the prop with me if I'm able to get it from David's cottage and it's all cool with "Max" and I'd like to take it for a lap on the voodoo just for some "reference numbers" to see if it's any faster than the 25 cleaver I run!
