Apollo vs Rapture?

[Jazzy17]

I'm looking to buy a ss prop for my 1998 Force 120. I'm looking at either the Rapture 21" or Apollo 21". Would anybody recommend one over the other? Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Re: Apollo vs Rapture?

The Rapture is a good, all-around SS prop..
The Apollo has a bit more technology in it and I think the Apollo would be my choice if I had to pick..
I've tested 1 and am awaiting another (Apollo) to test some other areas of comparison.
I may know by next week, but each application is different, so it depends on how it's used.

The Apollo is about $50 more. Is it worth the extra money?

As I said, the Apollo has more technology built in which should equate to lower slip ratios and higher running heights.
If 50 bucks is a problem, then performance isn't really an issue.
I understand your position, but what gets me is we have 15, 20, 30, even 65-70 thousand dollar boats, and 50 bucks decides which prop to get..

Agree Kenny. Amazing how our (some of our) brains work sometimes. Has happened to me; happens to me; Why do you think I'm still running these stupid Ballistics.... :%

Had to give you a chuckle.

Naw, from where I am, if I bought another prop I wouldn't know where to start.....mainly because of the performance differences in the different props and I think I'm getting all the go outta this little 90 I'm going to get.
