New Hustler prop $125.00

[mkhammer]

This is the new hustler prop manufactured by turning point. The prop has 2-round ear blades and 2- cleaver blades. This prop is said to be a high performance aluminum prop better hole shot and bite, better stern lift and greater top speed over a conventional aluminum prop. The Props will be available in april 2010 just in time for boating season.
Price will be $125.00 + $20.00 shipping
I am taking deposits now. $62.50 will get on on order and the balance will be due when it is ready to ship.

So if you need a new aluminum prop this is it great for towing and recreational performance boating. if you run stainless this is a great backup prop.

I interested PM me I can help you with Pitch selection for your application.

TurningPoint has a great product! I sold them for 4 years without any complaints. I have a 23" SpeedZone on my boat right now. boatman

 

[mkhammer]

I will send one to somebody to try it out in spring. who is running a aluminum three blade prop?
I might like to have someone with a stainless try one too if they want . The Hustler would make a great back up prop, great price and performance.

I would like a seasoned member.
Boat Propped right must be able to run Max RPM without hitting the rev limiter with a light load.
Good working tach and speedo does not have to be a gps.
Just want to get feed back on how it works.
Turningpoint says they work well and the hustler prop is a major breakthrough.
I have a 99 Rienell 184 BR with a 4.3 volvo I use to pull the kids I'm going to try a Hustler out as soon as they send me a demo. I am putting a gps speedo in it just to get accurate data. The boat runs about 50 now with a 21p three blade stainless
So if interested in trying one let me know I will put your name on the list for spring.

4-blade Hustler prop

I spoke to the turningpoint rep yesterday (Ron) He informed me that the new Hustler 4-blade prop will out perform a 3-blade stainless, I told him I find it hard to believe send me one to try, He said as early as Feb. they might and I say might be ready, March for sure.
Could it be so a $125.00 prop out preform a expensive SS. He also said the company offers a $20.00 prop exchange if you get the wrong pitch.
I know winter is now setting in and who the hell needs a prop now. The deal is they will be hard to get when they are selling world wide. Ron said he was on his way to Amsterdam for a boat show. I asked does turning point need another man?
So If interested PM me I will put you on the list for spring no need for a deposit unless you want to secure one now.

If I still have my Pulse in the spring, I might try it. With the 135 horse 2.0 V6 that's rated for 5,000 - 5500 rpms range I get:

Aluminum 3-blade 23": 56 mph GPS at 5700 rpms
Stainless High-5 21": 52 mph GPS at 6100 rpms
Stainless Laser II 23": 58 mph GPS at 5500 rpms

My boat (like all checkmates) needs bow lift. I'm curious about that prop. It has two bow-lifting blades and two stern lifting blades.

I'm guessing it will NOT have the bow lift of my SS 3-blade prop, but much more than my High-5 prop. My aluminum prop is still good, but just starting to show signs of ventilation burns. Ask them about surfacing that prop, will it get ventilation burns like the aluminum props I've had in the past?

 

[mkhammer]

You got it JW
I will send you one to try for free, I will work out the details with you when we near spring.

They tell me this prop has great lift, Better bite and great top end. I myself will tell you there is no aluminum in the high performance arena,
I think this prop needs to be tried by someone like you JW, You have tested many props on you rig and are in tune with how they all react. This prop is economical, you can by 3 or 4 to the price of one stainless, if it works like they say, What a great savings for recreational boaters to get the most out of their rig. , I would say there is limits and I would not try one past a certain HP , but at your HP it would be perfect to try. I will ask that question, max HP this prop will take.

This prop has gone through years of R&D, I am going to try one on my 210 HP bowrider IO,
So if you would like to try on on your outboard we can compare notes,

Sounds good! If I can find an inexpensive aluminum prop that will hang with my magic 23" Laser II, then I'd be all over it.

 

[Fastcheckmate175]

I am looking to replace my Trophey 24 pitch 4 blade!!!! Witha 25 pitch 4 blade!!

 

[mkhammer]

You know I never asked them what's the biggest pitch in the Hustler they make,
I will ask. It's an aluminum prop so I would think they don't make them to big.

[mkhammer]

Anyone else interested let me know I will pass some props around to see how they work.

[ckmate225]

I am currently running a 21p 3 blade stainless on my pulse 186 w/ merc 2.4 225,1.87 gr , Runs about 58 mph (gps)@ 5800. I have been prop shopping for a while now I was looking in the 24-26 p range. Are they going to produce anything that steep? I would definatly need bow lift. I would be interested in this prop for an "all around" pulling the kids on a tube and some high speed runnning. would be willing to test when the ICE thaws... in June

I would recommend a 23p to start, The hustler is a 4-blade and if you need to go back to a 21p it will cost $20.00 exchange plus postage on a undamaged prop within 90 days of purchase.
If you are running 5800 rpm now I would say too much larger say as a 26 would kill performance.

If you want, I would be willing to try a 19 on my boat. in the near future maybe against a laser 2 and a predator... if later in the spring / early summer would be different pitches.

If it runs well, I'll buy one and see how much abuse it'll take (might buy one anyhow just to see... the river close to the house where I spend the most time often requires evasive maneuvers to avoid logs, etc... and eats props and gearcases on occassion. Either way, I would be wiling to spend an afternoon playing with props and take notes.

do you know if they have a lot of cup in the blades? as in a lot of my stainless props have enough cup that they run a pitch number higher than the actual / assigned value. Just curious. Right now I've got a drive with 1.32 gearset in it and a little difference in pitch goes a long ways.

ps. playing a couple of weeks ago, I could turn the predator 19p to about 6000 rpms and couldn't turn a 21" mirage+ past 5000... didn't have a gps, was just messing around.

I am going to let a few Hustler props out when we are near spring, which can't come to soon. You don't need a GPS speedo just as long as you have a working one you will be able to tell the difference.
I want you to know that I am telling you what the Turningpoint rep said. Like I said before there ain't no aluminum in the high performance world. I have not tested them yet first hand I'm still waiting for them to send me one. If they work as claimed it would be a very good prop to have around. I have a 184 Reinell w/ a 4.3 volvo sx drive and I have a GPS speedo to put in it so I can do some testing as well.
What kind of speeds did you see with the 2- different props? Obviously you were faster with the 19.

I don't know about the speeds... my lie o meter usualy comes unglued and pops the pick-up unit into the up position around 65 or 70... and so I didn't have a speedometer at all. I have several gps set-ups I was just out for a ride with the two props to play with the newer (ss) drive thinking about whether or not to go through the hassle of having the gears swapped out to a different ratio.

If you would prefer to look at higher pitch wheels and it's convenient (assuming my work load allows at the time) I can swap outdrives easily to one with a different gear in it. I have standard alpha drive set-ups in 1.81, 1.62, and 1.5, and the ss in 1.32 on hand - I know... kind of sad, but true. I also have aound a dozen decent stainless props on hand. It's been colder here, only one day in the fifties this week, but almost never too cold to hit the river... and there's always a grop of hard core (nuts) buys out with their little tunnel hull rigs, radar guns and all sorts of fun stuff even this time of the year...

sounds like fun...

There here

I got my first shipment in of the new Hustler props , They look good I bought them last october ant my dealer show for a good price, The first batch is gone, hustler has jacked the price on me a few bucks, So they now sell for $155.00 delivered.

Only two members stepped up for the first batch at the introductory price.
Tacky06 and John Lamon , John I put your name on one as you requested, call me for shipping. 909 888-0055,


I can get more right away and the props look good and still reasonable for how they work,
We are testing tomorrow on a 19' Sea ray with a blown v-6 I guess 350 hp, we just finished it last week.
I'm going to try a 20-p gotta have it stainless 4- blade that's on it, and then the hustler 21 pitch against a hand held gps. It should be interesting

 

[mkhammer]

I tested a new hustler prop today and it was good. I used a customers 19' sea ray with a 4.3 v6 and Alpha drive. I compared it with a 20 pitch 4- blade stainless, We had did a few engine up grades over winter. We tested the 20 stainless first, conditions were windy and choppy, We were running at 7000 ft. altitude at Big bear lake. The boat ran 45 mph on the 20 stainless 4 blade into the wind @ 5000 rpm. We used a hand held GPS so these are real numbers,
Next was a 21 pitch aluminum 4-blade hustler got out of the hole and on plan just as quick and we topped out at 47.8 mph @ 5000 rpm. it didn't hook in the turns like the stainless either. The boat was capable of turning a few hundred more rpm but since it was not mine I did not push it
The hustler had a little more pitch and went a little faster So it works!
I liked it a lot it also says right on the box stainless performance at the price of aluminum
The owner gained 12+ mph form the changes we did and the hustler held it's own.
This is the solution for a all around prop it was great,
