I've been happy with the 8" Detwiler I installed on my AE-21. The black anodized parts dress it up nicely also!!

I ended up purchasing the TH Atlas with a 4" setback. I liked the self contained feature of the Atlas and ran it all last season with no issues. Running a DAH 27p chopper with this configuration I got a GPS 76 mph for my best run. A huge 10-12 mph increase over the old setting, which had the motor mounted directly to the transom running a 25p Laser II.
I'm in the market for a 24p Trophy Plus for an everyday prop to compliment the chopper. If anyone has a nice one available let me know ! :up:
