What is this prop?

[lbfd48]

I though that is was an old chopper, but why does it say Dennis?
It doesn't have any numbers on it.

nice looking prop. never heard of a prop guy named "dennis"

[propguy]

Used to be a guy named Tim Dennis that worked on props... Never knew him to cast his own props...

Looks like an A4 series big-ear Chopper, but the Dennis logo looks cast-in. Weird.
Was probably pitched UP to a 24, judging by the looks of the tip cupping.


If you like it, run it!

i think Pyro nailed it.

I seem to have the only dennis prop around, it must be worth alot of money :rolleyes:

Dennis the menus prop.:cheers: It looks good, have ya run it yet? Have ya messured those blades? They sure look over 5 inchs at the widest point? By the looks of those paddles it will displace some H2O. In a 24 maybe quite rapidly. Tell us how it runs if you ever try it out.:cheers:

Back in the old days when I worked for Pendergrass (G&R Prop Shop). We used to weld our blades on blank hub bodies. Second Effort did the same as well... This could be an old welded chopper style prop from back in the day. Some were good, some were bad!

[lbfd48]

The prop could use some work that’s why I haven’t tried it out on the Allison. I did however try it on my old checkmate, and it would cavitate bad out of the hole, and only turn 5200 rpm out of a 150 merc. James the blades are 5” and its 14.5 overall.
Thanks, guys and thanks for sharing some history with us propguy.

[lbfd48]

Kool and I though that I had the only one, where did you get it?

[magnum2.5]

came on a gearcase I bought awhile back, going to get it re-hubed and cleaned up, then try it out, gearcase was a 2-1 off a 150hp 97 MERC

[lbfd48]

Magnum2.5, pm me after you run it and lmk what ya think. Holeshot sucked with it on the checkmate, but it turned big numbers on the topend.
Thanks Jared

They run like a mercury chopper. Let a friend use mine and now its got a new home at the bottom of the lake lol.

[bildit4u]

That is a Dennis Cavanaugh prop. He worked for Mercury Racing prop division. Google his name and can learn more about him.

[Bayou Native]

I have a 22 and 26, they both sucked until I had them worked. Hole shot is awesome now!
