ran the same prop all year

[Lotus 50]

For the first time, I ran the same prop all year on my SS2000. Of course I changed the motor partway through the year. 28T4X, which was a good mix of speed and acceleration, especially with my old 225 PM. I did notice a bit lest out of the hole when I changed to a 200XS - 1.75 gears.

I know Whipper changes props a lot. Do most of you?

 

[ROBERT CROSS]

Not a lot...but have 3.
Hydromotive
14 3/4" X 28 R QIV OT..... Top end.
14 3/4” X 26 R QIV OT.....Cruise
14 1/2” X 25R QIV X OT Round Ear...Holy sh*t.

I ran a Hoss 29 on mine all year and found it great at speed but was only running 6400 at 96mph. trying to figure out how to get up to that 6700 range with the opti 200xs . 28 chopper ??

28 is about right. My SS hated big ear choppers when I ran my 150 XR4. The bow never stopped moving at 80 plus. Spooky. See what you can borrow.

I run 3 props, 23 trophy for several people and rough water where I'm in no hurry or skiing, 26 DAH worked trophy for everyday use, runs upper 80s and does just about everything a guy would need, and a 30 spinelli dr4 for playing and longer runs.

I run 3 props...............a 26 Hydromotive OT worked by Todd Bucknell, a 26 and a 28 Chopper II, both worked by Robbie Patterson.

Is it worth the money getting big ear choppers worked or cut for my XB02?

Yes. A big ear cut to the "knob cut" is one of the best driving props out there on an xb2002. Very punchy and still carry load fairly well.

whos the best guy to do it?

I would say call Hydromotive and see if they still do them. It isn't cheap. Hopefully someone else will chime in who else does them.

I just bought a 28 Triton for next season - the high price of looking at the Allison facebook page for the first time in months. I've had good success with Hoss props on my SS2000, but when I switched to fat shaft I sold my last one.
