G'day

I'm having trouble finding a prop here, i'm chasing a stainless 4 blader in 11 1/8 x 14 or 13. (for a yamaha 50)

Can anyone reccomend a good website in the US or canada? My best mate is living in toronto, so it's possible tfor me to ship to him and then for him to bring it over on his trip down here in sept.

G'day

Thanx for the suggestions, I've tried solas, it was my first port of call, all my props are theirs and they're fantastic, however what i'm looking for is a bit more specialized... have a look at the sizing/configuration.

Might pay to ask on one of the US forums like iboat or the hull truth.........

Blackened,
I got a good deal from Deep Blue Yacht Supply in the US when I purchased a stainless prop a couple of years ago. Was half the price Solas quoted me and that included delivery to my door. May be worth a look.

Do you race in the surf? Because you will loose lots of top speed with that 4 blader. What about double cupped 3 blades? Do you tow tubes with it or somthing?

G'day

Only use it for recreation, I do tow a wake boarder/tubes with it and also play in the surf, it's set up for long range cruising and spearfishing as well.

Currently running a 11 1/8 x 14 solas stainless that has some good cupping on it, however would like a more purpose designed prop (hence the 4 blader with the added grip) for the surf and wake boarding work.

All makes sense now, wakeboarding definately is a killer for a thundercats performance set up. I've seen some small 4 bladders on US flat boats? maybe a forum with those things could be a start.

Thanx Rob, I'm aware solas are working on a prop for this purpose but it's still circa 12 mths away, and i believe the price will be over $600...... so a bit up there.

Try here http://stores.ebay.com.au/americanboatpropeller
He doesn't list anthing that size, but he has heaps of props from lots of manufactures available to him. Might be worth asking. I recommend this guy to deal with, myself and 3 of my mates have all bought props from him. Mine arived to my door 4 days after making payment.

Best of luck with it.
