Re: 3bladeto4blade

It appears you have two questions in one. Is Solas a good prop? -- Sure! It's inexpensive in comparison to others. Is it the best prop for your application? Who knows! The reason for that comment is you haven't told us "why" you want a four-blade prop. Have you played with setup? What do you want the four blade to do for you?

Re: 3bladeto4blade

Solas makes lots of props -- are you talking aluminum or stainless? At any rate, hang around -- Walleyehed will be along and offer his thoughts. He's tested ore props than most folks have ever seen. In the mean time, go to the top of this forum and read his "prop test results". That will give you some insight as to what the differences are between brands, styles, and pitches. It's not just about pitch and stainless or aluminum.
