    Prop question

    What different props can be hubbed for an evinrude? I'd like something with a lot of bow lift. My friends all have yami's and run tempest plus props. The only other person I know with a rude is running a ballistic. I currently have a Raker 24. Just looking for some options.

    If RPM's are currently correct, and all you want is increased bow lift, go with a 24" Turbo Lightning. Although some of the old style Raker props give great bow lift, the Lightning will be even better.

    Do you have experience with these props? They look nice! The price is right too! I wonder if the turbo or the lightning would be better for me. Does the lightning offer as much bow lift as the turbo? I know this is a lot of questions, but I'm definitely interested!

    The Lightning is a Turbo. Go to http://www.turbo-props.com. The Lightning has the most bow lift I have seen.

    I had the same issue with a Raker not providing enough lift and sent it to a prop shop to have some lift added and not it works great. A little cheaper than buying a new prop.

    A tempest is actually what I would like. What kind of price can I expect? I keep finding about $470 for the prop, but can't find a price on the hub assembly.

    When you get the prop from a dealer (I think) that you can specify which hub assembly that you want...................Roger
