Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am new to the forum and I am building a small hydroplane. Unfortunately the design is not class-legal per APBA's definitions, but I see it as a jumping off point for what could potentially be a fun future in boat racing. I've got a Nissan NS15B2 for power and I am looking for a prop and was told that for this sort of application, a cleaver style would be best and he told me to check out Ron Hill Marine! Then I found this site and that Mr. Hill is the man here. Anyway the engine has a 14 spline shaft, thru hub exhaust, and wants to run 4700 min. RPM and 5500 max. RPM @ WOT. Mr. Hill, do you build custom propellers to suit any application? Would I be best off waiting until I have run the boat a bit (she is about 1 month to completion) to see what I'm looking at for MPH and then talking prop?
