Opinions on a Michigan Propeller Stainless prop?

[Boomyal]

I have a chance to pick up the prop described above for $90.00. It's number is 033009. It is the diameter and pitch that I want. This number is listed on iboats but is shown out of stock and references are given to other propellers.

I am not looking for comments on the specs, just on the prop line itself.

What say ya'll? Good, bad, indifferent?

Once tried a Michigan stainless prop off EBAY on my 78 70hp 3cyl Merc. It performed exactly like the OEM aluminum of same pitch I was comparing it against: same rpm's vs GPS speed, same speed to plane, same top speed, etc. (I think my motor is simply too small / low hp to take advantage of the benefits of a stainless prop.)

I was perfectly happy with the prop, I re-EBAY'd it only because it was doing me no benefits over aluminum and was thus worth more to me sold. (Got more for it than I paid, BTW)

I like Michigan props, even their base line (for example, Michigan makes Ballistic, Apollo, and a couple of other brand names). Remember that an new aluminum prop will cost upwards of 90 bucks so if the stainless is in good condition, you are not being hurt price-wise.

Nice prop..large diameter big eared pusher..just what that tired old tub need's...and fit's the power band quite well 3800-4200 large diameter big ear's low rpm..But that sku show's 21 pitch..

1.50 @ 4200 21p 52 mph at 8%..188hp 302?..OK ill hook up the wellcraft and pull you up to that speed it should work well...

Actually its hard to WAG but a 18 is tall cotton
