A new prop is definatly needed on my boat, a 17' Northwood Pro Tourney with a 120 Force outboard. Is stainless worth the extra expense, and what about composit props, they're only about $90. I've been told that stainless holds up better if you do hit a rock, something that happens occasionally since I fish the St. Louis river a lot. Do stainless props get more speed than aluminum?
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
