Those are called Chopper Props, I believe, or was it Cleaver props. Anyway "civilian" versions of them are available. The rap on tham was thay have no low speed pulling power, which is bad for most boats.

Yeah I know a guy who had a 42 foot fountain, with twin 1075's, and the cleaver props..... it took AT LEAST 10 seconds to get on plane every time he took off.

Pretty common with the big boys on LOTO.
And the big boys aren't really in the business of snapping a skier out of the water.
Pretty awesome to get overtaken by a boat going three times your WOT.
Man, I'm missing the sounds of the lake now.

Ryan, You still have ice in the Heartland? It was "ice out" here in New Jersey, over a month ago. I am almost ready to turn on the dock water.

I heard some big power out on the lake Saturday but didn't see who it was. We went to Docknockers for crab legs on a friend's 'toon Sat night....at least we were on the water. 3" of snow this morning though so spring isn't quite here yet.

I believe those are Hering props in the OP's picture. http://heringpropellers.com/

You guys really know how to hurt a guy, still have 8 inches of ice out here!

I believe those are called surface drive props because each prop is not completely submerged and running right on top of the water, much less drag, much more speed, big roostertails!

What do mean still have ice? We are still driving trucks on the ice (wisconsin). Hopefully the forecsat will hold this week and start the melt.

Yes sir, but not much. Starting to see water around shore. Thursday and Friday are supposed to be in the 60's, which should take care of most of it. WALLEYE HERE I COME!
