What is a really good ss prop? I am considering a Michigan Wheel Apollo or Balistic seris prop. Are these quality props? If not, what would you suggest me buying. Looking to stay under $500.00.<br /><br />I got a 2001 four Winns Horizon 190 w/ Volvo/Penta 5.0GL. It currently has a 14 1/4" x 21 pitch aluminium.

Lots of choices out there. Honestly, I think they are all good. I have a Stiletto prop and its priced around the same as the Balistic series. I would look for a prop that has cupping. Suppose to help with economy. I ate the ramp with my prop and it didn't phase it. I had it checked and its fine. It did have some burs but I sanded them out. Go to the prop selector on iboats. It will give you a list of different manufactures. You have a pretty good size pitch. Is that what came with the boat?

Yeah..that 21 pitch is what came on the boat. With just me in the boat, she tops out at about 56 mph. So I wanna keep the same speed, just a stainless prop.
