We have not tried them on a boat like yours, yet. When the weather warms up you are welcome to test them. Or, if you happen to be in the neiborhood we can run them now.

The amount of stern lift these props can produce is amazing. We tried another setup...moving some weight around... and discovered that you can really load up the stern of the boat and still get some really good numbers with the Barracuda as compared to conventional props.
In real world applications, it looks like you will no longer need to worry about performance when your wife/girlfriend or buds come along with all that extra "stuff". You know, all those things that find their way to the back of the boat so you have drop the tabs or stand on your tippy toes to see over the bow.
This prop won't work for everybody...but if you need some stern lift....check them out!

We have run the CNC Props on the 35' Fountains and they outperformed our expectations. The attitude was great and the speeds were up all the way across the board!

Well, we saw 1-2 MPH increase over the leading speed prop on the market. It has been expressed that the propellers have a great feel to them...."very hooked up" "solid feeling".

Will these run on an outboard cat...and do you make an appropriate size?
Speed range...120-123
current = hubless three blade cleaver 15 x 34" pitch

You never know how this prop will perform on a particular boat til you try it. As far as size that's not a problem, diameter from 12" - 16 1/2" and pitch in any increment from 26 - 35 (true pitch) and 4, 5 or 6 blades.
Between the can, blade design, and number of blades there may be too much stern lift. I am excited about getting our over hub props on some boats for testing, but that may be a few months.
