    Greetings!
    I am building a 7.30 meters overall long fiberglass semi powerboat. It can be equipped with internal power group (engine) in range from 80-160 HP.
    I am having a problems with finding the right propeller for it.
    I would like to know where I can get a good designing and calculation software for propellers.
    If somebody can recommend me some programs or share it to me I would be very grateful.

    Thank you all in beforehand!

    Michigan Programs

    There is the "Propeller Optimization Program"(POP) and other programs from the university of Michigan. Unfortunately they are unavailable in the official website and I am not at home to send them to you.

    I have made those calculations by hand (yes, it was a very boring thing to do, but someone has to do it) and it was very near the ones the Propeller Optimization Program does.

    I do not think that the "Propeller Optimization Program"(POP) program from the University of Michigan is suitable for your purpose as it is based on the Wageningen B-Series.

    Here is a link to a program originally written for Arneson drives
