A good prop is necessary for proper boat propulsion. Props can dramatically effect top end speed, bow lift, and planing time.
Dings, wear and bent blades can also adversely effect the boats performance.
The most common materials used for props are aluminum, stainless steel, brass and plastic composites. In high performance boats, stainless steel is often chosen due to it's strength. Reduced cross sectional area of the blades in stainless steel props is possible because of the alloys strength. This reduction reduces slip and increases efficiency.
Yesterday was a wonderful day for me and the rest of the anglers fishing the postseason. Each of us took a wounded veteran out on Lake Cameron for a fun-filled, bragging rights tournament called the Hope for the Warriors Tournament.
Welcome to the BASS postseason, where the hunted become the hunters, the hunters become the hunted and almost anyone can walk away with the most prestigious prize in bass fishing ...
