In our last issue we reported on several underlying factors to help you choose the right propeller for your vessel and boating application. While the information was devised to please the most discriminating boater, we decided to go beyond the call of duty and present a first-hand test on several of the latest props available, offering the top picks for you, your family and lifestyle.

We put Piranha's props to the test, and found they stack up against the rest.
By Bill Fedorko
One of the best things about being a boating writer is getting to test a variety of newboats, engines and equipment. But rarely are we invited to a test where we are encouraged to destroy something. So when Piranha Propellers of San Luis Obispo, California, offered to let us hit a submerged object in order to tests its composite propellers, how could we ...

Rich Ahlers from Waco, TX says:
I have a 19‘ Sea Ray powered by a 190 hp Mercruiser Alpha I. I purchased a 14x21 prop to replace the existing aluminum prop which was slightly damaged by an underwater obstruction. The most impressive feature to me is the fact that if I hit an underwater obstruction, the blade(s) affected will break instead of destroying my stern drive unit. In fact, this past summer someone who didn‘t have much experience was trailering my boat and didn‘t raise the motor all of the way. The concrete ramp took off half of the skag and 2 blades from the prop, but the stern drive was not damaged. If I was using an aluminum prop, the stern drive would have been damaged and I would‘ve been without a boat the rest of the summer. I would‘ve also spent over $200 to buy more aluminum props and thousands to repair the stern drive. As you can see, I am very satisfied with your product.

Experienced boaters rely on Piranha
for boat propellers that beat competitors' props.
How do our boat propellers work?
Our
propellers feature a functional, modular design - which allows you
to change damaged blades individually, as you need.
The key to the patented Piranha Propeller is the hub. The
center hub consists of a high-strength aluminum core, molded over with
our specially-formulated composite material, Verton.
The hub is designed to take the shock of the propeller's impact, which
means you no longer experience spun hubs. We are confident in our
virtually indestructible hubs, which is why we back them with a
lifetime warranty. Our replaceable
blades are made from the same high-strength composite, perfectly
balanced, and precisely pitched - giving you a blade 15% stronger than
die-cast aluminum.
We recognize the high cost of replacing and repairing your lower unit,
which is why Piranha engineers designed the hub, blades, and materials
to absorb impact energy - protecting your prop shaft and gears.
