| Does anyone have any experience with these props? From what I understand there is a univesal hub that diffrent prop housings can be put on. |

Location: Iowa | I got one a couple years ago. Yes, they have one housing for your motor, then the actual prop slides over that. If you run rivers or rocks, and bend or break a couple props every year, they do save you some money, because you only need to replace the prop and not the entire housing with it. I had to go to the next higher pitch to get the same performance with my light boat though. Thing is, after I got mine, I quit hitting things. The web site is

Location: Bagley,MN 56621 | These are pretty sweet props, the aluminum series are called "Hustler Props". They are nice like said before about only replacing the outer blades/housing vs the whole hub and blades when damaged.
They are pretty aggressively cupped to vs. many stock alum. manufactures being "flat-bladed".
They are quire popular as well with ski/fish, (dual purpose boats) because you can put a smaller pitch for skiing holeshots on one day and then quickly change back to higher pitched blades for burning across the lake or light loads and fishing.
be sure to maintain proper RPM's based on your load so you dont over or under rev.
They are coming out with a stainless interchangable prop system this year as well..I'm pumped to try them out.
Turningpoint does club sponsorships too, check them out. |

Location: Cohasset, MN | I put a Hustler aluminum on my last boat. It gave me some mild torque steer (which I'm sure would have happened with any cupped prop) but nothing that the torque tab didn't cure. |
