Blaster Best prop?

[madd_dips]

Ski is a limited 701. High comp head. Stock carbs. Msd enhancer. Factory pipe. What the best prop for this set up? I love the bottom end punch for freestyle but also love to rip around the course. I have heard 9/15 hooker. 10/16 hooker and a couple other pitches.

Planning on running a pump stuffer.
Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks
Sean

10/16 hooker will give you more bottom end pop with about the same top speed as the stock impeller. But the stock impeller is pretty good.

The guy who makes hooker is gonna recommend a 9/15. Trust me. I'd believe him

 

[Kaup_921]

9/15 in my superjet runs out too fast. My buddy has 10/16 in his limited blaster and it feels good. More bottem end with the same top.

What would you say the 9/15 tops out at with a limited ski; 30mph, 40mph?

 

[Kaup_921]

Not sure probably low 40s

Not sure probably low 40s

That is about what I get with the stock prop so having more bottom end with the 9/15 with close to the same top speed sounds pretty good.

In smooth water the difference is 1-2 mph tops. The speed difference widens as is gets rough, that is why racers use steeper props. A 9-15 will feel slower because it accelerates stronger at low speeds.

Everybody has different opinions. Best bet would to find a friend that has a prop and borrow it.

I have a skat trac 10/18 and it does good to me.

Skat 10/18 in wife's B1 ported with Coffman's and XSR46 works awesome. Put a Solas Concord 14/19 in mine fully ported/epoxied with Coffman's and Riva 48, have not tested yet. Both 62t cases.

I come from a boating background with the following statement. The same motor in 2 different boats would need 2 diff props. With that being said. I had pretty much the same set up in an sj with a 9/15 and it ripped. I couldn't see it being great in a blaster. But again I could be wrong. Bump. Any other opinions?

I love my old and fairly cheap Skat Trak 14/18 superslim line prop. I have riva 91 octane head, riva red pipe, intake and ride plate. Hits hard on the bottom end, instant snap. great top end. I have a hooker prop sitting on the shelf. I'm one of the few who are not impressed with the hooker prop....especially when it is so expensive!

 

[Quinc]

What other options are there for low end besides the Hookers?

 

[B3IS]

I have a scat that impros repitched to 11/18 just before they came out with the hooker. worked like a champ.

 

[jaxrider]

ive got a 9/15 hooker and it has good bottom and pulls strong on the top

 

[JetManiac]

Most prefer the hooker 10/16 in the blaster.

I've been doing similar research, everyone is going to have diff opinions and setups. From what I been reading 9/15 Hooker is a disappointment. Heard real good things about the 10/16.

IMHO : I am getting ready to try a Solas Concord 13/17 3mm cutback. Been hearing a ton of good things about these with great bottom end punch for a lightly modded blaster.

I'm running a hooker big hub 9/15 in my FR...

Ski came with limited 701 n I've since upgraded to a 781.


Ski has tons if low end n seems to still pull hard up top. I can't really go WOT cause the ski just falls over but in a blaster I think a 10/16 will be ideal

Didn't realize I was in a blaster thread. Carry on.

Oh and 10/16
