Hi everyone, I am in need of a new prop for my boat and see about three different main companies, Solas, Michigan Wheel, and turning point. What does anyone have opinions on which is the best prop? Especially for the hub, I know all these companies have a slightly different design. Also if theirs any other companies flee free to tel me about them. I would be getting an aluminum prop. Thanks

I run a mirage plus on my alpha. A bit slow out of the hole though. I hear small blocks love the Laser 2.

It depends on you boat and engine combination

Sorry forgot to mention that. Its a 19ft bowrider with a 4.3lx. Thanks

The boat also weights about 1700lbs if that helps. Thanks

try a turbo 2+2,,they work gr8 for bow riders and you will use half the fuel..drop down 1 pitch's so if your prop is a 19 buy a 18 pitch one,,you can also trim the piss out of it..also good for water sports..

Thank you, It looks like a nice prop but I want to stick with aluminum (forgot to mention that).

Any specific reason you want to stay aluminum? You might see some significan gains with a high quality stainless prop like the one mentioned above. Fuel savings alone might pay for it over a season.

If he's running in any lakes like buckeye minus the 8 inches of mud aluminum is probably to save his drive.

But I agree with Artie if you run in a nice deep lake go stainless, aluminum tends to warp at high rpms.
