Has anyone ever ran a Spinelli DR4 on a XB03? If so how'd it do?
They all run good! But for the 03, it was a 28" Quad IV OT.Neil, what kind of Hydromoitve?
They have so many ?
I agree, I have a 27 and 28 o/t Hydro. Not knocking any other Brand prop, all I'm saying is for an over hub this is the best I've ran, for an all around prop the O/T still comes in first place...:beer:....I have run countless props on my XB2003 with 225X and 280..........and overall the Hydromotive Quad IV OT is simply the best.

X10! You might can find a few props that run 1-2 mph faster than the OT when the boat is empty and on the ragged edge but if you have any measureable load (or more than 1 butt in the seats) then usually those props will drop off CONSIDERABLY where as the OT continues to shine. They make a 225 powered XB03 an HONEST 90-91mph 2 man tournament boat!!!I have run countless props on my XB2003 with 225X and 280..........and overall the Hydromotive Quad IV OT is simply the best.
Your 100% correct about the load carrying, I ran last Friday afternoon with a load (two of us) and the Spinelli did not like it, it's a good solo prop, thats about it.X10!

And they drive like a Cadillac, wives and kids can safely drive much faster with the OT than any other wheel. :at the bar
ps
Yes Spinelli retired about 10yrs ago. Denver Wilson was about the only one I knew that really loved the Spinelli on his old XB03/225... of course now he even has an Hmotive tatooed on his arm!!! Hmmmm
I agree I have different props for different boating.Your 100% correct about the load carrying, I ran last Friday afternoon with a load (two of us) and the Spinelli did not like it, it's a good solo prop, thats about it.
Of course the Drag props are not designed for a loaded boat anyay.
You are a true Performance boater...:big grin:big grin...I agree I have different props for different boating.
Every man needs at least 4 props anyway...lol
1 one for a quick drag prop
2 one for top end solo
3 one for cruising with the kids/woman that carrys the bow, and smooth ride
4 one for fishing with a partner that carrys a load, and runs awesome numbers
I can't see having any less than 4. There are some props oit there that run good all around, but that isn't good enough for me..
If I had to choose 1 prop I would choose a drag 4.
