Hey Guys I came across a bunch of CC props recently, and I took them to my buddy Rob the prop guy. I did not want to see them hanging on a wall at Cracker Barrel. He spiffed them up and repaired them. If anyone needs one of these sizes, let me know or call Rob at 863 956 7835.

I'm kinda surprised,thats what I'm running on my gt40 vdrive. Would have thought with that much more hp and torque it would be different. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I don't think that lefty is for a CC. What's the difference between the 422 and a 668? ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

Stock OJ is a 14x18. The 380 is Acme's recommendation for the Python. I did notice a lot of v-drives run it, I was more surprised they used a 1-1/8" shaft on the GT40. Is your trans a 1.23:1? ------------- 1999 Sport Nautique-Python Powered 1999 Ski Nautique-Python Powered |

502, did you notice any difference in top end or acceleration between the stock OJ and the 380? I tried a few different props a couple of years ago, and there wasn't a huge difference ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=7183" rel="nofollow - 1999 Python 1980 Ski Tique 1968 Mustang WIP |

My trans is a 1:1 the reduction is in the drive at 1.5:1 and then off to the 1 1/8 shaft. Suspect just the gt40 v drives were the 1 1/8 not sure about th DD's ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I don't have it yet so don't know. My guess is it won't be much difference but I hoping it will help me pick up 100 revs . On my Sport I'm getting 4850 and Ski is getting 4950 with the OJ's. what are you seeing on yours? ------------- 1999 Sport Nautique-Python Powered 1999 Ski Nautique-Python Powered |

| All v-drives are 1-1/8". All dd's except for the python are 1". 1.23:1 big block and 1.5:1 small block take the same props... nice mathematical coincidence. |

Interesting Tim. Am I wrong or is it safe to say that the hull pretty much determines the prop rather than the power? Seems that way to me anyway,I know there is alot of variables ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

| No, hull is only half the equation. Hull and torque are the 2 main players (force and resistance) in prop selection- gotta balance the 2. The 2 biggest contributors to torque are the size of the engine (cubic inches) and the transmission ratio. |

I didn't see a whole lot of difference in acceleration or top end between the stock OJ, 816, 856, and 380. I have the numbers somewhere at home, but it might be quicker if I test them all again. 54.x MPH on the props. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=7183" rel="nofollow - 1999 Python 1980 Ski Tique 1968 Mustang WIP |

| Acceleration is very hard to measure without some sort of reference... either a set of fixed points and an accurate timing system or another boat running side by side to judge comparative performance. I'd bet good money the Acme's out-accelerate the OJ's. Top speed is much easier to judge. |

Was the 644 previously damaged and repaired at all? ------------- "A Veteran is someone who at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to: 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life." Semper Fi |

I don't think so, but I just turned a box of props over to Rob. Give him a call and see if he had to repair it. Some of them were dinged. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique Boat Bar 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Open Bow 1988 Mastercraft Tristar Closed Bow 1969 Seacamper Houseboat 1986 Harris Pontoon 2004 Seadoo GTX SC + Flydive Xboard 1999 Adventurecraft |
