Hi all,
Great website!! I'm Bill Godwin and I build one-off human powered boats for a once a year local event. This upcoming year I'm going to build a boat similar to a "Cadence".
http://www.openwatercycling.com/

It uses a prop similar to a boat prop and am told from several people who should know about the companies prop, its 8.5x13-14 or so. (see attached).. With some of the knowledge here, the prop is actually 8.5". Can someone tell what the pitch is approxiamately from the picture(Here's another link to some other pics of the same prop)

After perusing ebay and seeing the props Ron hill has(they look fabulous)
one similar to the Cadence could probably be attained easily? Bore would be @1/2" but thats no big deal. I can make an adaptor. Anyone have a small used prop lying around in the range of 8.5 x 12-16?

Hope all have a great weekend on the water.

Bill
