Hey group,
My original equipment propeller for my 25 hp Johnson is beginning to show
wear and its that time that I should look into a replacement or spare prop.
Has anyone had any experience with Comprop (www.comprop.com) for small motor
applications? They advertise similar performance and durability of a typical
aluminum prop but with 4 blades. I like the idea of a four bladed propeller
for the low end performance. I'm not a speed freak but like to load the boat
to its maximum limit on occasion.

What is this groups opinions? I see they are relatively inexpensive in cost,
are they cheap? If not recommended, where near Crystal River, Ocala, or
Tampa or even on the internet is a discount prop resource?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hey there.... I was steered away from the Comprop by a few of the good people
here.

I have heard that the Comprop is a pretty good thing for a smaller outboard.
You loose a fraction of top end speed, but increase the "hole shot" a bit more.

For my purpose, it wouldn't quite work (even though Comprop says it would).....
I have a heavy old, 17' trihull with the rugged 165hp Mercruiser inline 6. If
I were to put on a Comprop, the torque of the outdrive and the sheer weight of
the boat, would probably snap a blade right off.

I hope this helps. With a 25hp Johnson, you'll be fine with a Comprop. If you
hit a rock or a log, the blade will fray and chip away, but will allow you to
get back home.
