Yep, cleavers generally produce the best top end, but are lousy for "everyday" use. With no cup in the tips, they just throw the water off the blades, and don't pull well. That changes as you increase horsepower, with 225+, it becomes more usable, because you can spin it harder. It's still the same old story, you need multiple props to satisfy each situation. I've become fascinated with Hoss Tritons recently, and I'm pretty sure it will be the ticket for best all around performance. Hopefully I'll be able to test one this year, and confirm my feelings.

Problem is, I'm REALLY cheap, and the props are expensive. So far, I've not been able to bring myself to dig up another coffee can in the backyard to get the money.

I feel ya, I've been making attempts at borrowing props for a while. The problem is every prop has it's own set up and you're not sure if you're running optimum if you're at a river run swapping props with guys.

I have yet to find that "good all around prop" myself.
