I would like a bow-lifting prop for my 21 SeaSwirl/Johnny 150HP combo. Aluminum props are fine since with the shallow draft of the boat, I hardly ever hit bottom. Does such a product exist?
Re: Are there any aluminum high-performance props?
I have a pair of these hustler props on two merc 115 on a 22 ft fishing boat.The props looked like they was used to grind a stump when i bought the boat.I dont know what the original pitch on the props was.I belive they was around a 17.But at any rate i had no traction with the old props like i has spun hubs and i didnt.I had no bow lift what so ever so it took a second to plane out.Now with the new props a 19 pitch i can pretty much mash it out of the hole.I got a quite abit more bow rise.I have two big trolling plates off each motor and i hear they hold your bow down.And i belive i got a lil better gas milage.I highly doubt that they come close to a top dollar stainless prop but for what they cost.You cant go wrong run mine all summer now 100+hrs all the paint is still there.And they deffinatly make your exhuast flow a lil better u can hear that at an idle.But that is my opinion on the prop.
Re: Are there any aluminum high-performance props?
We'll assume that you don't have a jackplate since you didn't mention one. For that application and overall use with good bow lift I'd suggest a Stiletto. Great props, decent lift.
