There older props were not so good.. I had a few 3 bl et's and a 5 blade et.. To this day I still have the 5 blade and its holding up ok.. The newer signature 4 blade et style is a awesome prop for my liberator . Hold's the boat nice thru the turns and not a ton of steering torque. Best on this prop was 95@6200 with a 250 pro xs 1.75 sporty.. That was with 2 people 1/2 tanks of fuel and the usual cooler and boat items..

I had a very nice Ron Hill Hoss Style 4-blade a few years ago.
Some of the stuff he has been selling on eBay has not been great, though, according to some posts on here.
Finally, there is a prop shop that blueprints them, resulting in supposedly very nice wheels. There is a link on my website.Markus' Performance Boating Links:

Chad and Ron are not the same people.
I was recently at a local, high end prop shop w/a friend who had a a pair of Ron Hill props for his cat that he couldn't get to run right.
The local shop had them on their digital pitch machine and there was 3" difference between blades/props!
I asked the guy if he thought they were imported (read, Chinese) wheels that Ron put his name on and he said absolutely.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Ron is the father of chad where they make and sell props !!! I have had long talks with both Ron hill and chad hill about my props losing blades as Ron said they have had problems with them now by Ron saying that was it all the props they make I don't know as I only tried one type (THERE SIGNATURE ET ). I hope this was clear for EVERYBODY to understand
