Location: Ogden, Ut | I talked to the guys in our Parks and Rec shop and they were very disappointed in the durability of the Comp prop. They said that they would not use them as a main prop anymore, but as a spare - just to get you home. Small sticks and floating debris really took their toll on the blades. They are cheap, however.
I have stainless on my 50 Yammie - no problems w/ it. I have bumped a few things w/ it that I feel would have slightly damaged an aluminum. (I run in reservoirs - every spring the water comes back up and created a new minefield) Basically I'm glad I have it - it came w/ the boat so I didn't have to shell out the $$ for it. Doubt I would have if I hadn't used it first. I don't think performance differences will be very noticable at that horsepower. But the only way to know for sure is to try it - every boat/motor combination is unique. |
