Hi all,
I'm looking for a 26 pitch SS Ultra LH to fit a 250-290 Volvo.
I've got the repower in my '18 all dialed in, so now it's time for more prop!:)
Thanks in advance for any leads.

I've got a 23p left hand Solas stainless prop for sale. It's perfect, used a few times and re-powered with a different drive package. $300 shipped to your door.

Kurt, thanks for posting, but I'm actually looking for a 26 pitch Ultra.
I screwed up when I first posted, because I already have a 24 pitch on it now.

Anyone out there with a 26 pitch Ultra they'd like to move????

the solas 23 would be a good alternative to a 26 ultra, especially at 300 bucks.
the solas 23 is more of a 25 has very good handling traits and very very low slip numbers the 26 ultra might be hard to find if you do find a 26 ultra make sure it has the michigan hub upgrade otherwise you be spinning the hub shortly there after.

i have 3 ultras,,1 24 and 2 26's..my one 26 i can spin to 5800 rpm's labbed with little cup work..the other 26 is set up for nos with a heavy cup,,and i can only turn it to 5 k, 6k with the nos.

keith my prop guy will make the ultra 24 work on your boat,he is the best i have found and reasonable too.

http://dahpropellers.com/ ask for john and tell him your needs..

p.s. i picked up 6mph after he did my prop..

there you go Lead fixx has 2 26's maybe he'll sell one

and a guy to make the 24 work , the 23 solas would still be a good spare to have on hand, give ya something to run while the 24 is in transit

You read my mind, Matty!!

The 23 Solas is purchased, and I'll be contacting Mrfixxall's contact.

The fine folks of the Registry come through once again...thanks!:cool!:

That Solas is real nice...not as fast as the Ultra I had on there, but it hooks up real nice and handling was actualy better. I just hope I don't kill the 250!! Great prop for cruisin the lake and I think it'll be good for pullin the tube and skiers! :)

you'll love the solas when it gets rough to it doesn't ventilate or blow out in turns I gave up the few mph in top end speed spurts the ultra gave me for the overall speed increase and handling
the handling needed more so on my 16 the 18 is a bit different
the 250 will be fine with it mine , still is and it gets driven way to hard by the new owner
