"The hole shot seems much better than the factory prop. Holds well in turns and is easy to install. Appears very sturdy & well designed with bigger than factory blades.

I was extremely satisfied with the performance of the prop. My standard Mercury prop will now become my backup prop. I have already told 3 boaters of these results, they were also impressed. I also made a third run with another person in the boat and the boat still ran 45 mph @ 5200 rpm's. D. Tomlinson. Austin, MN
