Powertech or Solas or VP Propellers?

VP props worth the premium? vs Solas or Powertech? Looking for B5 dual props for 5.7 GI.....

I have no complaints with my f series props. Guys have had good luck with both aftermarket ones too. I haven't heard much on the dp aftermarket world though on the older drives.

My boat has the FH propellers with splined hubs, so not much aftermarket. For other props like the straight splined (280/290) and especially outboards, Powertech seems to be more common but I've heard good things about the Solas. Someone upgraded to their stainless props and really liked them, but I can't find the thread...

Yep, you can turn hunting for props into its own hobby. Liquid's thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=95

Just wait for these bad boys to hit the market in 2020. Additive manufacturing is going to revolutionize prop design.

Worth waiting for? likely, VERY pricey......
