$35.00 to cup a 4 blade prop...

I've owned more tunnel boats then I'd like to admit and what others have said about Louie and Jack are dead on. On smaller tunnel scooters Jack will be a better choice for a custom prop. He may be direct but it will be correct. Louie's quality on rebuilds is hard to touch also. I've tried most of them in the past 25 years. I really hope the added cup will work but have found it's typically a band aid affecting rpm and overall performance. I agree it's costly to buy props but it's the most important piece in the puzzle of running shallow along with a jack plate.

Now I can go full throttle and I’m not cavitating and I can also trim the motor to get the bow up , rides so much better it doesn’t feel it’s plowing through the water now .. If anything it will buy me some time to get some cash together for either one of jacks or a over the counter . Before the boat was almost unusable unless it was pretty calm out , if there was any chop it was ridiculous ..
