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.
Narrowing down a rather broad topic into a two-pronged approach, the Oklahoma pro Fred Roumbanis says the question of when to walk and when to pop comes down to quality or quantity.
My "One That Got Away" story happened in May 2006. I was in my second year of fishing the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series and hadn't been fishing tournaments for very long.
Skeeter Products, Inc., manufacturer of Skeeter brand high performance boats, and BASS, the worldwide authority on bass fishing, announced Tuesday that Skeeter will continue its sponsorship of the organization for multiple years.
