Looking for a 1 inch std. rotation 3 blade stainless prop for my 24 Spectra. Right now I’m running a Stainless Hill 3 blade 14x14 so something around that size. I need something with some diameter for this big boat

You have a large heavy boat. I would shy away from a Menkins from Dallas. Most of his three blades have small blades and a lot of rake and build quite a bit of transom lift. I would look for a larger round ear prop to push your Spectra. Search for an old Tom Black Precision prop in steel. He built some great performance steel three blades for cruisers. Menkins stainless are kind of fragile, I would dye check mine pretty often, and never get more than a season without cracks in a blade or two.

Try and borrow a Menkins before you buy, just my .02 cents.

I bought most of my 3 blades for my Schiada from Bob Teague. You might want to call them and see what they have.
