Can anyone give me any feed bacck on the Hustler Turning point aluminum props? How do they compare with the Michigian props? thanks

I like mine, but be aware they tend to have an aggressive cup. My 19 pitch turning point digs harder than my 21 pitch MI Wheel, but they turn within 100rpm ofeach other at top end.

Re: Hustler propellers

I just received mine in the mail yesterday! I am replacing a Merc Alpha4 (14"x20P 4 blade aluminum) with a 14 1/4"x21P 3 blade. I'll let you know how it performed after this week end.<br /><br />PERFORMANCE-<br />Stock Alpha4: 37MPH(GPS)@4800RPM(WOT), no trim.<br />Hustler: ??MPH(GPS)@4800RPM(WOT), trimmed.<br /><br />One disapointment though, is when I ordered it from iboats.com the guy told me it was "polished" aluminum, and looks nearly identical to a SS prop ...ya right, the thing is painted silver

Pdl, have used the TP props on several boats, cant compare them to michigan wheel, I dont use their stuff...they are a high rake, heavily cupped prop which will at least hold its own with most factory props...the only problem I have with them is the low purity aluminum they are made of....leave these things in the water for a season and they look BAD!

PERFORMANCE UPDATE-<br />Stock Alpha4: 37MPH(GPS)@4800RPM(WOT), no trim.<br />Hustler: 47.4MPH(GPS)@4800RPM(WOT), trimmed.<br /><br />With very similar loading conditions (2 adults, 1/2 tank fuel, light gear).<br /><br />I am very satisfied with the performance!!!
