What propellers do you guys use, ( MFG.,TYPE)
Which is best for Cruisers, which for flats?
Anybody know anything about the Radiece Prop?
Radiece props are made by Harold Kindsvater. They were marketed by Tom Bentley at Menkens V-Drives and Ron Braaksma of RB Racing. Ron is NOW making props of his own. You can call (me) Tom Bentley or Ron Braaksma for a High Performance steel prop. For more info call Tom Bentley at (530)885-0531.
P.S. We have a new design three-blade out soon! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/wink.gif
You can call Harold directly at 559-299-2328. he knows boats and what props make them work.
Good Luck,
Marc
VD CRUISER, I think 2- blade props are for Flatbottom and Hydro's. I ran a 2-blade on my cruiser, it produce more RPM but felt real squirely. Steel is the best way to go if you have a lot of horse power and R P M. Like V-drive Tom said go to the pros and ask them.

Did you stop to think that Harold does not advertise or put his number in print for a reason?! Yes, a person can call Harold direct, but they will pay no more ... and get complete propfessional service and answers dealing with me. That's why I have Harold's complete confidence and trust to sell his propellers (to advertise them and represent them at the boat races)I'm proud to have that privilege...
Kid, Are you still interested in the steering parts? Your email address keeps coming back not deliverable. Bluefin
v-drive Tom,
I'am sorry that I stepped on your toe's.
I have been calling Harold directly for a number of years and it has not been a problem, He is one of the most knowledgable people in this sport. It's just seem that he does mind dealing with the little guy.
just my $.02
I use Radice props from Tom Bentley. I've tried alot of props from different guys and although Tom's were the fastest the real difference is the help we got from tom because lets face it most of us are not prop experts and have to rely on the advice of the people we are buying from.
On my 20' Schiada cruiser I run a two blade 11 3/8 X 16 Menkins. It works good with a light load and on top end. Put 5 fat boys in the boat and it burns pretty good getting out of the hole.
