Re: prop

Stiletto is targeted at the "standard" ss replacement market. Very good props. They may not run as high an X dimension as a Turbo but a real good choice.

Re: prop

I found the Stiletto to be really fast, and a bit more smooth and forgiving as compared with its sibling, the Turbo. Nice performance on my sterndrive. Their website is:<br /><br /> http://www.precisionpropeller.com/

Re: prop

I don't mean to hijack this thread but how is the stiletto compared to OMC SST?

Re: prop

No problem Dave, a very good (related) question. <br /><br />The Stiletto is aimed at the SST replacement market. On outboards they might be considered to be a slight step up, almost like a Raker. I say outboards only because with an outboard we have the ability or option to raise the motor easily.

Re: prop

Mine is set up pretty good right now. I am able to get 5800 with the SST (11 1/2 X 19) with just me, a full tank and fishing gear. I like the idea that the Stiletto has a 18 pitch to get a few more rpm's. That extra rpm would allow me to use the prop with heavier loads (2 of us fishing and a cooler of beverages). It's only a 15' skiff with an 89 J50 on it and a Stiletto would be my 4th prop. I've got all the bases cover with props but that Stiletto could be my all around prop.<br /><br />How is the cupping and lift compared to the SST?<br /><br /><br />Thanks.

Re: prop

I've found that the lift is comparable to a Raker in the V4 & V6 line. I have no reason to suspect that the ones like you mention wouldnt have good lift also. At least like an SST or SST II.

Re: prop

Dave, email me at dhadley50@aol.com and use iboats as the subject line (so I wont trash it). Get a quick count on the number of splines on your prop or shaft.
