Thanks for clearing this up for us Danny. I tried to quote you as I best could. Great information here for all.

I try to explain things the only way I know how, simple. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know everything. When a man stops learning, it's time to die. I have been around these small boats for over 40 years, can't help but learn something. That little bit of knowledge took me to 2 World Championships, so some of it works. The difference between me and second place was about 500 hours of testing. NEVER stop trying to improve, you're either going forward or going backwards, there is no standing still.
The secret to getting the most out of a boat is to keep trying different things. There is no one thing that fixes a problem. EVERY boat is different, even within the same brand.
When you begin to understand hydrodynamics, you begin to understand why a ____ does what it does. Insert a word in the blank, boat, motor, propeller, weight shift.
I always try not to sound condescending. If I ever do, please tell me, it is not intentional.
I have a different prop for the 40/50 tohatsu 4 stroke next week. I'll keep you guys posted on the test results. I keep searching and trying different design props, someday I'll find the best.

Would love to get me a new tohatsu. Just can't do now. Hopefully some day I get to make it by you place and gain some knowledge and get to know you. Seem like a genuine and honest man which is what I like surrounding myself with.

Thank You. I simply try to do what my God tells me to do. He hasn't led me wrong yet.

Danny is Top Shelf for sure! I had the pleasure of knowing him before he became famous, hasn't changed him at all.

hey CC, would a hydraulic jack plate help him achieve what he is looking for? i am thinking about putting one on my boat but $1000-$1200 is a hard pill to swallow for a maybe

[marshrunner757]

Whether that would help me or not doesn't matter to me at that price lol. It catches plenty fish as it is.

Not enough to pay that much money for one. I have one because I test so many props I would wear the bolt holes out on a manual lift.
I expect a couple of props to come in this week. Trying a few different props to find something to outperform the black painted Yamaha props, I think we may have found it. If they do as well as expected, they run higher than the Yamaha prop, which is always good for marsh boats. They have more blade are, which helps load carrying.

Paul, there's a difference between famous and notorious
Never tried or wanted to be famous, I'd rather be known as someone that tried to help anyone and everyone.

That's what you're famous for Danny, helping people without asking for anything in return.

[CajunChristian]

Thank You Paul, I appreciate that.
God Bless
Danny

please report back on this when you can.

I love the black painted Yamaha prop you recommended for my tohatsu 40hp, but if there is something better im willing to replace it for that.

by better, are you thinking in terms of overall performance, carrying load, hole shot, or top speed?

Anything the runs equal to the yamaha in speed and is about $250 is a win. Yamaha just had a price increase, expect to pay $500 retail for one, if you can get one, they seem to produce about 10 props a year, that is ridiculous.
The props I will test, I am hoping will run higher than the Yamaha, carry a load better by not losing speed when loaded. And best of all, retail for about $250. And no, I am doing this testing to keep the information secret, what do you think I am testing them for, duhhhhhh?

What's your thoughts on Ron Hill props Danny?

I have tried a few of his specialty props, not favorably impressed.

I'm waiting on one of the props to come in. They both will run higher than the Yamaha, at about half the price, not sure yet on performance. I expect them to run 1-2 mph faster than the Yamaha. Even if they run the same speed, half the price and jack the motor higher for the marsh is a winner.

Here goes boys, I tested the Solas New Saturn 11" diameter 15 pitch, the PowerTech SRD 11.25" diameter 15 pitch, against my Yamaha black painted stainless steel 15 pitch and 16 pitch.
My boat had 3 batteries, 5 props, and a 48qt cooler filled with water.

I tested hole shot, that is the time it takes when at a dead stop hitting full throttle, when the boat breaks over.
Yamaha 16 2.9 seconds
Yamaha 15 2.7 seconds
Solas 15 2.8 seconds
SRD 15 2.4 seconds

Top end
Yamaha 16 40.9 mph
Yamaha 15 38.9 mph
Solas 15 38.1 mph
SRD 15 40.9 mph

RPM at WOT
Yamaha 16 6100
Yamaha 15 6200 rev limited
Solas 15 6200 rev limited
SRD 15 6200 rev limited

I have 10" setback and I measure height from measuring the clamp bracket to the transom.
The Yamaha props both run at 4" above the transom
The Solas ran 5 inches above the transom
The SRD ran 7" above the transom
I have a SRD 16 and a SRD 17 pitch on the way. The SRD was the most comfortable to drive, did nothing stupid, o bounce, no chine walk, smooth even pull all the way to top end. I have sold my Yammie props and ordered the PowerTech SRD
And before anyone starts, I know it does not jive with a prop calculator, the calculator says it cannot run that fast. All I can figure is that the SRD is a 15 pitch close to the hub and pitches up towards the tips. Can't wait to test the 16 and 17 pitch SRD's.

[marshrunner757]

Great report! Wonder what the difference would be between my SRB 17 pitch and an SRD 17 pitch?
