Post Hill Marine Prop
Has anyone run one of these on their LT? If so how do they compare to original go devil props?

I have; 4 years ago I bought a 25 HP, Godevil with a Kohler engine, the prop was in very bad shape, the budget was short, and I call them, they recomend me the right prop according to the boat size and load.
Very good prop, well balanced and good performance.

I found that a Hill prop ran quicker than several others I tried, and seemed to hold up pretty well against wear.
I am selling a 9x7 Hill prop, never been used, for $130 shipped if you are interested (and no, I didn;t just say good things about it cause I'm selling one) :lol: Bought it for my 25 Kohler longtail but sold the motor before I ever got to mounting it.

Bought my 9x6 Ron Hill prop on ebay about 4 years ago, just like leonides. Got it real cheap including shipping. Very stout, runs 1 mph slower than the MB Tiger prop. I have had GD props in the past, also good but they wore down faster than the present Hill prop. Nice smooth finish, only a few surface scratches after four seasons plus I run the boat the rest of the year as well. I have read some negative reviews but my experience has been great. Although my 27 HP MB LT motor is rated for a 9x7, the 9x6 runs better.

You need a 7/8th and either a 10x4 or 10x6. I ran a Ron hill prop. I thought it looked nice and wore faster than my GD prop. In test with THAT motor I did 21mph with a 10x6. Carried a load better with a 10x4. 19mph and the Ron Hill did 19 and 17mph. But wore faster. Just stay away from sand. I couldn't therefore I ate many props. (Idling around with the prop hitting the sand I think was the worst.)

One benifit of Ron hill's are cost. I used them on my old 25gdlt. Cause I was in no rush with that motor.
