    Default Prop Questions

    What are the advantages of going to Stainless props vs Aluminum? Do you need a stainless Cone with stainless props? And lastley does anyone have a set of stainless A3 props for a DP drive that they want to get rid of.

    Thanks in advance

    SS props are preferred for high speed performance applications. If your not going over 35 knots then aluminum is the preferred prop.

    sounds about right but I've never heard what the max WOT for a 32 is.

    I don’t know what it is either yet. She planes at 21 knots and there is more left at 26 knots but after that ? It’s still not a SS deal. My bass boats and the rest of my river boats are all SS props, but my ocean boats are all Al props.
