I have been given the chance to try a 26 pitch raker on my 92 pII with a 3.0l erude has anybody had any experience with this prop?The prop has been worked by a shop but dont know what was done other than thinning the blades some.

Thinned blades are good for performance, bad for longevity. If you like to run across sand bars and the like, they are even worse. I have a couple here, one being my favorite chopper (small ear, nowhere near as brutal as the regular choppers) and these things tend to suffer from blade flex, fatigue, and blade throwing. If your goal is reliability and fishing, I would avoid it. If you want to go fast, it is worth a try.2008 Pantera Classic2014 Mercury Pro XS 200

We agree with OT57 as the propeller has unknown modifications and the blades are probably thinned from damage which had to be repaired. We dont like refurbd propellers unless you have them done for tuning. Your rig needs a 25 Shooter, 27 Shooter or a 25 Renegade.

I got some info on the mods done to prop. They where done by pro shop so that it could be run on fastrike150 on a 392 ranger. Didnt pan out the 150 would only spin 5200 wot trimmed all the way out. The blades where thinned and some of the rake removed. Ive tried the 25 renegade with less than acceptable results.I wish I could bring myself to just leave it alone but I cant. I know there is more than 62mph in this girl and I want to find it.

There is more to this than we can help with unless we get some engine heights and more.
