Florida Airboat Propellers, Located in Winter Haven, Florida... http://www.floridaairboatpropellers.com They also provide composite props.. There wide-blade wood prop has proven to be the most powerful wood prop on the market!!! i'd go with them!!

I only gave $550 for my 5 blade warp drive. There out there you just have to open your EYEs and look. :shock:
And if your just learning how to drive thats even more reason to run a composite prop, a twig that would shatter a wood prop most of the time won't even scratch a composite prop there fore keeping your boat, the people in it and around it that much safer.

Theres the hub and i can get you a set of blades for about $100. There in poor condition but still 10 times stronger than a wood prop. and that less than $400 even with shipping.
again only my opinion, Kevin

listen to kb27, for the initial cost of a comp it will pay for itself over time, in 10 yrs airboating I have replaced 3 wood props in in 5 yrs. in the past 5 yrs i have only gotten one nick in my warp drive and it has eaten alot of cans, hats, a shirt, and who knows what else. also you can have warp drive blades rebuilt for around $75.00 a peice i think, and they look like new. my last wood prop i had rebuilt by air props. they repaired a crack, replaced the metal, and assured me it was good as new for around $200.00. well it lasted for 5 minutes and cracked on both sides. they would not stand behind their work and i wouldnt even use their prop for firewood. also if you ever see a wood prop come apart it may sway you towards a comp.

I'm not interested in Warp Drives, I want a wide blade prop.
Once I get my boat in order, and feel comfortable with it, I will start saving for a Sensenich Q.
