    Bought some props, what size boat would they be used for

    Friend of mine bought an old collection of motors and props off of someone and is selling them at his shop. I bought two of his props for *!***!***!***!**s and giggles. Both Octura, one is a 1460 and the other is a 1957

    I have no idea what these props would be ideal for as for as what hull type, size, and power you?d use these props on

    Any ideas?

    I have a Blackjack 42? and a UL19, I suspect these would be too big for them

    I have a bunch but since the Brushless / LiPo revolution in the early 2000si haven't had a use for any of the Octura number series props, they have too much lift IMO.

      they would be for like .45 nitro outriggers or .67 nitro hydros. since you have KV options you can just match them to an RPM if you have a realistic idea of speed:wattage ratio. for example the 1957 on 4s with 1300-1400kv. or 1000kv and 6s.

        My hydro runs 2050kv on 6S and my 42? runs 1350kv on 8S, if that helps
