Anyone tried this setup yet? I know they Hammer Prop has been out for awhile now.

Bascially I'm tired of burning props up as quickly as i have been. Ready to try something different to see if i can get a little more life out of a prop.

I dont need more top end, i could care less. I want life/ wear, and load carrying out of it.

A GatorTail will most likely sling that junk to pieces

You try taking props to a machine shop I took mine in to see if they can build it up

Powertec prop for ya... but if you call them... Powertec says they dont make that prop

Ak - I havent but thinking about it.

And my motor has the nuts to turn a bigger prop.

I think you can turn if if you can get it up over 4000RPM


Least that is what Freddie King video said

You cannot handle the "hammer"! Stick wit ya troll motor prop!

Seriously though, I can't imagine y'all not trying it yet!

I ran one and lost 1 or 2 mph cant remember. Couldnt tell much of a difference in holeshot And i was turning it 4700 rpms. Never ran it with a load

And there ya go.

Anybody ever try hard surfacing a prop to build it back up and keep the wear down?

I'm having mine done now it was very messed up I shoulda took a before pic ill let y'all know how it goes .

If you build it back up with hard surfacing rods how are you gunna grind and balance it?

Everything

well did it drop RPM any?....Reverse should have been waaaay better! The blades are much much bigger...

That what I'm asking, do you think a prop shop would grind it? That stuff is hard

Duck, I guess u weren't trying to get a very good comparison on the hammer prop and your prop? U lost 1 r 2 mph, but can't remember. Doesn't sound like u put much effort into the test. Did u try trimming your motor down when running? Did u do anything different than the way u run your prop? If not, your test was flawed at best. At worst, u have no idea how it compared.

Not trying to get cross with u, but I have never heard someone make a prop comparison like u did, unless they were hiding something.

3ck, send a PM to duck hearse, he is running the hammer prop on his gtr and from talking to him, he seems to love it...

I remember one prop comparison on here between the mb big blade and gt big blade. Mb held up better but the gt was always 1-2mph faster regardless of prop shape.

The Hammer PROP

Called Andy AKA Boat Dr. and order one arrived next day went out today and ran the hammer,by the way I have 2012 35 gtr with CALEN'S stage 2. Boat gator trax 17x50 with hunt deck 2 rear seats 2 gun boxes inclosed front deck. This prop is a beast faster whole shot 2 people dog and cooler runs deep water 29 to 30 at about 4300 rpm's lost about 150 to 200 rpm's I might have lost 1 or 2 miles an hour on top end don't think so until I can run by myself I can't tell you. Reverse is a hell of lot better have reverse plate and will soak you down this SOB is nice.

Lost 1 mile hr off top end was 32.6 now 31.4 was running 4450 now 4300. its great with load 2-70 qt coolers full 2 men 500lbs/ dog/ 12 gal boat tank/ plus 5/ 5gal fuel tanks and luggage 27 to 28 miles an hr. up on step 2 boat length.

was in the bigun or the little one ?

Better hole shot with mine. Def need a motor with a little ass behind it in order to turn it. Running my 16x50 HD gatortrax commercial rig I can't hardly hit the rev limiter. I run right at about 4300 wot. With my old prop I was all over the rev limiter at 3/4 throttle.

Reverse power is great. It will suck the boat backwards when you hammer down on the gas in reverse...no pun intended. Seems pretty durable so far. But haven't beat the hell out of it.

Thanks for the info guys. I ran my GTR with the Hammer prop this weekend.

Really like the prop. Lost a little top end, but gained on the bottom, load carry, and reverse. Wait and see how it holds up.

Calen's Stage 2.

I have a calens stage 1
I can't even hit my rev limiter of 4350 with empty boat, my boats to damn heavy, I want some more power

That sucks. My boat is pretty light for its size i guess. (All 1/8" and pretty open).

I can still turn this prop up to 4500-4600 to gain some top end, but in my normal 1/2-3/4 throttle i turn about 4100 rpms, where as before i was turning about 4250.

I have Calen's heads, BPS cam, Carb, MM-X.

I'm planing to get another boat, this time gonna go 1746 and buy a new motor to slap on my old boat,

I wish I can add a carb but where I hunt at it has to look stock , no motors over 36 HP which sucks

3CK if both props were to last equally as long which prop would you buy next?
