I'm just curious if you compared it to the TP Hustler?
I wanted to get away from a single piece hub, and I liked that iboats is offering the QL with free shipping, so that means a $10 savings over the Hustler. But this "torsion rod" concept on the QL seems a little less straightforward that the Hustler's design (Hustler looks more like a square peg in a square hole design).
Once it's on the boat, I suppose the point is moot, but I wonder if those rods tend to drop into the water when doing an on-the-water prop change?
FYI, the prop change is necessitated by a spun hub, hence my desire to get away from a single piece hub.
Oh, and the prop is going on a 20' Lowes pontoon boat with a 1993 50HP 2-cycle Evinrude motor. So it's not like it's a speed demon or anything, rather I just don't want to be stuck on the water with a spun hub.
Thanks for any input... Oh, and if you want to read my whole story, it's here: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=372272
