I have a evenrude 150 xp with a 4 blade 25 pp shooter prop on it, I had the hub recentered after sucking up rope after fixed I lost some top end , I like to know who makes it, is it a racing prop, my 19 alum would blow out even 21 can in rough water put the motor lower on jack plate to get most bite, the jack plate owners manual <br />how to mount, for full speed in rough water was set to high <br /><br />i haven't run since fixed it cold here<br /><br />the prop shop want's me to send this prop back for pitch reading and look at cupping, HE said he can make it grab the water! it will be fixed this time now I had death in family and sent email, there return email said they would fix it at no charge to me just mail it to them when I can it there now 2/6/2006

Balance... so they did work on the blades. Ask them what pitch blocks they used. If they used SST pitch blocks, you no longer have a Shooter. you have a polished 4 blade SST.
