    Default Dirty 30...prop that I cannot find

    My dad is restoring old outboards....a passion from his racing days in the 50's.

    He's discovered the "Dirty 30" and made his own.

    Now....he tells me he has no way to run it since he feels he cannot find a prop for it.

    He says he needs a 9 1/2" dia x 15" pitch....don't know if that's right.

    Does anyone know what prop he might need and where to get one?

    He says he used to use OJ props in the day, but they cannot help us now.

    fyi: if Ron Hill is still here....I bought Bunker's old boat, but sold it last Fall.

    Pretty STIFF prop for a 30H, but if just a MK 30 might be OK

    Isn’t a dirty 30 a mark 55 on a Mark 30 lower?

    That’s a bigger prop than I ran on the 6 cylinder looper.
    Don’t sound right for a 30H.

    A picture of the motor would help. If your like me and don't do pic's describe the motor, no. of cylinders, mag. or bat. electronic ignition, type of gearcase and diameter of propshaft and gas or alky burner. Sounds interesting. Keep the info coming.

    The only 30H that I can think of that might pull that would be a motor converted to C-service alky with a 14-21 gearfoot.

    The Evinrude speedy twin service-C usually run about a 8 3/4" x 14 with the above gear ratio.

    We raced Stock Motors or serious modified alky burners. I have never heard of a Dirty 30. Tim Weber might be right, 20-H gears in a "C" foot...I know down Oklahoma way they did some strange stuff.
