propeller info needed

I had a 19' Schiada, ran 22 gears and 11 1/4 x 16 prop, turned 7000 + rpm. Its in the Orilla area I believe
I would be sure of the FE Hp prior to 1973 and past could be a 352- 427 CI. Thats 200 -425 HP. FE parst are hard to find and expensive.

If its 352 12 gears two blade 11 x 11 1/4 14 or 12 x 14 three blade about 4500 rpm possible 5000. Two blade will give you 5000 +

I have run 352,390,427 FE engines.

its a 68 390 gt motor which is bored .60 with a 428 crank and 2 600 carbs. im thinking 6 grand would be the highest i would want to rev it. I was told a 11.25x15 2 blade would be a good prop on a dfferent forum. does that sound right?

Yes it would,remember more pitch more speed. Gears also play a factor in thi equasion. If you can turn 15 pitch x 6000 x gears(12%) would be 6000 + 720 = 6720 x 15 =100800 divide 1056 = 95.45 mph - slippage 10% would be 85.90 mph. Remember slippage comes from all the factors above,hull, prop,diameter prop.

Useing this formula gives you an idea what you have to strive for

I run a 11 3/8 x 15 on my 64 Howard, it has a 40 over 390 roller motor with two 600's on it with 15's in the box and it turns 5900 rpms. I think the prop you have should get you in the ball park.hand

SS 201, you're way low on the slip factor at 10%. You are correct that all boats have different slip factors. Rule of thumb on correctly setup lake boats is 10% for hydro's and 15% for flats. I confirmed this with my flat at Bakersfield with an actual timeslip. I spun 6,600 rpm w/ 25% gear and a 15 pitch prop. The timeslip was 100.50 mph.
An older style heavy flatbottom may even have closer to 18-20% slip.

Your are right 10-15 % got carried away My SS Schiada only had 10 but it was bluprinted, sorry about.

thanks for all the info guys devil

Take good care of that boat, Len Schiada was way before his time. All his flats were built strong and fast.
