I keep seeing this hub and that hub, is the hub something that needs to be purchased seporatly from the prop or do all the props on iboats come with the hubs in them?

for instance, the props for 1988, alpha 1 with a 350 in the 19, 20, 21 pitch range. 3 and 4 blades.

Re: prop and hub question

It depends on the brand and style some props have a removeable hub required and it would be listed with the prop.
I looked up a 19" prop Turningpoint Hustler,Michigan wheel,Solas Rubex,Merc quicksilver all list hubs.
A prop with removeable hub its slightly cheaper to by aditional props.
If you have a prop with a removeable hub and you wanted to put it on a different brand application you could buy a hub for that system.Instead of buying a whole prop.

Example: on my Alpha 1, I have 3 props & 1 hub which is easy to change out.
