Performance Benefits

This prop delivers the kind of connection wake and surf riders rely on — immediate grip, steady pull, and smooth transitions. The four-blade front design bites cleanly, keeping thrust consistent through every turn and trim adjustment. You’ll notice smoother acceleration out of the hole and a quieter ride overall. At lower speeds, it holds your line beautifully, giving the perfect platform for surfing or wakeboarding.

Turning a four-blade prop ahead of a three-blade rear prop minimizes cavitation and improves efficiency, so you get strong, predictable thrust without unnecessary noise or vibration. Whether you’re loading up the boat with friends or easing into a perfect wake, this prop keeps the power steady and the experience fun.

• Reliable and easy to maintain — handles surf use and towing demands with ease
• Cost-effective vs. stainless alternatives — premium durability and long-term value
