They don't make a 3-blade trophy. Get you a good 25 trophy and you'll be very supprised. I still can't speak for Todds props yet, haven't run any yet but from what you see on here, their awesome.
:at the barIve ran Trophies for years on 2 different Allison hulls. Cut Trophies from Soddy Daisy, Robbie Patterson, etc and stock Trophies. Ive never had any failures.
So you had one trophy break on you and that means they have to have 400 dollars worth of work to be a good prop? I disagree. I've had way to many that have been excellent props with no work. The only reason I got my 26 worked was I tried to take off in <2ft of water...my fault, not the prop's.Trophies seem cheap until you figure they have to be cut, treated, and balanced to stay together. Like I said the 24 I had ran great until the crack. Todd's props are actually very competivie if figure his come "stock" with the "outboard cut " and heated treated for every Allison Owner. I specically have asked that my hydromotive to not come sharpened be cause I run rivers with debris all the time. No problems here and I have chopped some wood with them...
No doubt different props run different, and usually will require a slightly different set up... Usually not just a bolt on and the best prop you have ever ran....lol I wish it was that easy.. Also agree drivers have habits, and styles.I have not tried as many props as others and the hydros run flat which may be unsettling to some but I am putting up healthy numbers with my 200 and they fit my driving style so really. Others may drive and have other expectations so there is really no bad prop. I think they all have their applications and will run if you find the right setback and motor height
Yep... That is what I meant.A stiff prop is one that runs like a bigger pitched prop than it is stamped. Most modern props are progressively pitched props that the stamped number is usually an average of the leading edge center and tip pitch measurements. So prop that is stiff may be stamped 26 bit run like a 28 on top and/or as hard to turn as a 28. And/or put up impossible slip numbers
