Ron Hill semi-cleaver on a Voodoo or similar hull?
Anyone ever run a Ron Hill semi-cleaver ( Calls it a Mitch Hardee) on a Voodoo or similar small V-bottom? Been looking for a prop for my son's Voodoo with 50hp OMC small gearcase and it has been difficult to find one. Thinking a 12x20" Ron Hill semi-cleaver might work good. The boat is used for pleasure only. Ron Hill has the semi cleaver and also a regular cleaver in a 12.5x22" on his ebay store. Any opinions?

Ron's props generally are not balanced and often out of pitch between blades. Saying that you might get one that runs perfectly out of the box, it's a bit of a hit or miss. We have an 11x18p semi cleaver on my mates thundercat and it runs well, no vibrations, but a lot of folk report that the props need balanced to work at all and usually the advertised pitch is not the pitch you get.

Thanks for the info, not what I was hoping to hear as he seems to be the only one that is making smaller performance props.

Call a good prop shop and see what they want to work one.
