[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 434034, member: 15636"] A new, low co$t option for smaller HP motors (40hp thru V4s) are the pressed aluminum blades by Turning Point. It's a new process akin to forging that results in aluminum blades almost as thin as SS ones. Their new proprietary process is called 'squeeze casting' and unlike die casting, this method further compresses the blade for a tighter grain structure, making them both thinner and stronger. I run a 4-blade one on my 60hp Evinrude and it's impressive! Only $100 too! And note Turning Point has a prop exchange process, so you never get stuck with a prop you can't use. [/QUOTE]
