I love this thing.....It was pushing my Vegas to 83 @ 6600 3" under the pad as a 27P with a 1990 225 warmed over Looper. I just had it trued and balanced to 14" X 28P with major cupping. Hope to gain 2-3 mph pos more.........

The hub is just small enough to allow just enough exhaust gas to pass over the hub to break it loose and it immediatly hooks right up like nothing else I've tried before....

Anybody know what kind of prop it is? I've been amazed at it's versatility, holeshot and top end. I have yet to run it since being worked.

I thought Mach too, but the one I have has Mach in raised letters inside the hub tube.

The one I have is a 28 and is fairly fast.

I was thinking shooter, but I think.........it has more blade area. :confused: All of the OMC props I have seen have the hub pressed in from the front instead of the rear too.....

Turbo, by Precision? Don't they take a different thrust washer?

What's the front of it look like?

Here is a Precision Propeller Turbo that I have. I was looking for a thrust washer. The marks you see are from some dummy (me) using a standard OMC thrust washer just to make it work...LOL!:rolleyes:

first 4 blades that power-tech started building,back when they first started,would be my guess.

unless the blds have been welded on and you cant tell from the pic.

Now I have seen Predator Wheels that looked just like this wheel. This might be one of there wheels before there Eagle model... Looks just like one to me anyway... Front and the backside as they use that size of thrust washer also...

It is a Turbo 2+2.

Dug out an old B&WB with pictures of the Turbo 2+2 as well as some other bass boat 4-blades and it sure looks like a Turbo 2+2 based on the hub and the shape of the leading edge.

I had this prop bent out to a 28 & balanced. I just did a 85.8 MPH/GPS pass @ 6800 with this prop on my 225 Looper/ Vegas.
Great all around prop.......'couldn't believe it.:D
