Default Where to get cheap props?

R u sure?
I thought he had a 2152 or 2252 bilgeliner cuddy cabin?
Wasn't that the boat he was talking about trailering all the way to the sea
of Cortez? Also didn't he challenge someone here to a trailering contest at
one time?

Stainless steel is STIFFER than the aluminum prop and will outperform
it. Also, aluminum props ding up much easier than steel props.
Stainless
is the way to go.

Identically dimensioned aluminum and stainless props will perform about
the same under identical circumstances for most boaters. If you are
pushing a 21' fishboat with a 200 hp outboard, and you have two props,
one alum and the other stainless, and they have the same pitch, diameter
and blade geometry, the performance will be about the same. Different
cup design, very high speed boat, et cetera, and thinner blades
available on a stainless prop might make a difference.

What would an ersatz Skipper know when the real Skipper never owned a
boat?




Naw. Skipper never owned a Bayliner.
