I tried a loaner prop from a local shop to replace my beat up nasty spun hub prop, and know what size and pitch i need. Sadly the guy wants close to $300 for the used and reconditioned prop he loaned me.. so now i am on the search for the right replacement. I know I need 13 3/8'ish 15 pitch 13 spline for my 83 Johnson 90hp pushing a 16' cape horn.

My question is all the prop brands out there.. is there a good performance comparison or chart listing all the main brands' purposes? I can't seem to find any objective comparison of what these brands are best at (hole shot, top speed etc.) or why pick appolo vs vortex etc?

Re: Prop brands?

That seems like alot of money.
I found one at a local shop and one on fleabay.
The local one is a J/E OEM one 14x17 new old stock for 80.00.
The other is a SS 13.5x19 for 125.00 off fleabay with a new hub.
Just look around and be patient.

I also sent you a PM..
