$326 and free shipping is tough to beat.

That's about what I paid for the Michigan Apollo at local prop shop (NO shipping!  ), although it was a few years ago. You might also be able to find a PowerTech for similar price - check the suppliers on PowerTech website. Both are high quality props and the Michigan/Powertech replaceable hub system is more robust than the Merc design. Also PowerTech is made in USA and they have great technical support.

I was just looking at props and found the PowerTech for $304. Originally I was looking for an aluminum as I will sometimes fish tight to rocks. But a LH aluminum appears to be impossible to find.
I took the Viper to a local shop to be reconditioned. I failed to mention that, BTW. I lightly hit a rock at the very end of the the day on Too Fly's maiden voyage.
The shop wants $240 to fix it. I'm thinking of not bothering and selling it as is. I'd probably get no more than $300, refurbished, anyway.
Yep. The PowerTech, Solas and Apollo are all comparably priced. Because your boat is similar to mine in size and identical power, I may go with the PowerTech because you're getting good performance.
