Anyone have a idea where I can get a large prop for a Volvo 270?
Right now I am running a 14.25X24 prop. My 454 (just a little more then stock) will push it near 4800rpm's. With each upgrade that I do I end up back near the 5 grand range. I had my prop reworked a couple weeks ago to get it up to a 24P so its done. I figure with the hull's bottom work I am about to start I'll be back in the 5 grand range again. So being I could use to lose a few rpm's and the 454 is supposed to be at WOT around 4400 rpms I am thinking I need something around a 26 to 28P.

Hey F in,.........

I don't want you to feel Too Lonely down here,........

I Think that you've run into Another 1 of those Issues that come up when you're running a Less than Popular outdrive..........

Your 270 Isn't known to be a "Go Fast" drive,.......
hence,.......
There are few or No "Go Fast" Parts available for it..........
