I ran props on the Athabasca for 20 years before I went to a jet on everything from 7 1/2 horse to 115's and would NEVER go back to an aluminum prop
After running stainless ones!
That river is shallow and between sticks and gravel bars you tap a lot no matter how long you have been on the river !
I often had to hammer back a stainless prop straight after coming home late , and I spent a lot of money on rebuilding or buying new aluminum props before I smart end up and bought stainless . Touch with an aluminum and you bust them up here !
The difference in performance as well between Stainless to
and Aluminum is astounding to say the least on hole shots or when hauling a big
load . Nope I'll never run aluminum again.
