Got a new prop today from RB Props. Ron Braaksma purchased the late Tom Black's company "Precision Propeller". ItÂ’s a 11 1/2 x 15 and it looks real nice. CanÂ’t wait to test it out. I first went Hill Propellers and they told me they donÂ’t work on V-drive Props. They told me to go talk to Ron. He was very helpful and easy to do business with. Here is a link to his web site.

Ya know an 11 .5 - 15 is cool for a ski boat, but a 11 - 16 or 10-7-8-16 would really burn!! Depending on the H.P of your motor and weight of your boat..:D

I have had a 11 1/8 x 16 on there and couldn't get the boat to take a set. I used my friends prop and it worked great.

very interested in hearing more about how it works, i assume its a two blade? I've been looking for a 3 blade (21 Schiada) but it seems like there's no good ones any more.

Can't help you on last number, the first number looks like a date. most props have the pitch and diameter on them like 11 1/2 x 15
