[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Thanks for the tip, Skipthelurker. I've got a turbo performance stainless steel prop. I had it re-pitched after I dinged it last year and when I got it back I lost 6 mph and 250 rpms plus it didn't "bite" like a stainless should and broke loose like an aluminum. The guy could get the pitch right but couldn't re-configure the cup in the blades to maintain the performance characteristics.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Today, I ran a new turbo on my boat and had all the performance characteristics a performance s.s. prop should have. You'd be amazed at the difference. I could lay the boat right over and that new prop would continue to grab in 6" of water. An aluminum would of broke loose in 12". I got all my speed and rpms back. It would actually lift to the best plane possible for my hull design.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]What's this mean? My damaged prop is going back to the factory. They charge an arm and a leg to re-pitch and re-configure your prop but hopefully it will be back to new condition and perform like a new one.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Hey ocean. Capt. Harry's is a great place for saltwater tackle. The selection is good and the prices are comparable plus their shirts rock! Ha! Sorry I made you homesick but I also hope it reminded you of good times too.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Later, guys![/size][/font]
