The best !!!!! owned a few now. Call Todd, very knowledgeable and great to deal with. One of the best driving props I have tried. I have used them on a couple of types of boats(cats,deep v's) with much success !

I've got a 28" I run on my 03/225X. It'll run 93-94 with a one man fishing load, and it really doesn't drop off but 1-2 mph when you add the second person (as long as they don't pack a BPS tackle department).

I've been running a 28 Quad IV OT for two years and love it on XB-2003.
As has been said, Todd and Thom are great people to deal with.

Just got off the phone with Todd @ Hydromotive
Thanks to people like GMA and Kevin, I called Hydromotive and not only bought a 28 Quad IV OT but received some welcomed advice on set-ups and balancing from Todd.
Thanks all!

interested in hear about you all's holeshot with these quad 4 OT. Is the holeshot anything like a tempest. my motor has a slight bog to it when the throttle is floored, then spools up, not anything bad or drastic maybe for about a second. just wondering?

Hole shot is awsome
Hole shot on the Quad IV O/T is great on my boat. Here is some info
I will tell you what I have run.
I have 14" setback
26" Trophy worked by DAH. I can load the boat heavy 4 people and hole shot is great so is the Excelleration 84MPH GPS . 86mhp GPS Med load
27" Hydromotive Quad four OT custom. This prop to my suprise is the best holeshot prop. It has cleaver blades and I thought it would not do good. This prop handles Great with great excelleration.no top end number yet
28" Performer 3 blade good excelleration. hole shot ok with med load
89MPH GPS @ 6500RPM great bow lift.
28" Yammy Drag. Fair hole shot. Great excelleration up to 80mph and it stops pulling. I would not recommend this for fishing
27" Trohpy B&B. This one would not spin out of the hole. poor excelleration.
29" Spinelli DR4 poor hole shot Great excelleration
28" Performer 3 blade with Bullet Cut.
My opion the Hydromotive Quad four OT custom is great for fishing med load. I put out some threads and ask before I bought one. I was steered away from the OB style round ear by someone on fastbass. I ordered a the OT cleaver type. I got the custom for $120.00 more. When I got the prop I looked at it and the first thing I thought was needs Cup for holeshot. The first time I tried it was with med load. I was impressed it spun just a little was on plane in one boat length. It handled great and when I got on the pad it was rock solid. I was very impressed.
through the Hub is usually better holeshot.
2nd Fishing Prop is the 26" Trophy worked by DAH

I thought for top speed, a 3 blade always is faster, yet alot of you guys are happy with the 4, why is that?

and what would be the speed loss?
A couple of miles an hour I guess. 2-3mph. I know that I like the four blades becuase it is easier to drive. It takes some time to get use to each one. If you want speed I would recommend that you find a ET or Chopper and get it worked by a Good Prop shop. For a good all around Prop I would recommend a Hydromotive Quad IV O/T(Call Todd). It will still give you good top end numbers.
Hope this helps
