Which would be the better prop?

[WAB]

I have been running a NuJet 5.0 swirl type impeller since I started riding. It's what was in there when I got the ski and I did not even know what pitch or brand it was all this time. I also have a Solas 14.5/18 straight edged impeller sitting around. Which should give a better bottom end acceleration?
I am not sure what that NuJet 5.0 pitch equates to vs the Solas one.

Swap it out and try it!
i dont know Jack about the Nujet props.

I've never tried a Nujet impeller, but I have been running a Solas 14.5/18 for a few years. It rips pretty good... decent all the way around. I think you'll like it.

Although, I just switched to a solas concord 13/16 w/a 3mm set back at the recommendation of Impros. Can't wait to see how that performs.

I got a SOLAS 13/16 w/a 3mm setback repitched to a 12/15 by Impros

What is the best way to find out which is the best prop for your ski? Buy it and try it? Would $40 be a good price for a used skat trak 7/14 variable pitch? Is that a good prop?

wow 7???


no good man....the best f/s props are going to be:

12/15
13/15--13/16 maybe even 13/17

concord or swirl......all cutback



but if you want a backup that woundnt be too expensive there seem to be lots of 14/18.5's floating around...

If you want to know the best prop for your setup... call dave at Impro, he will ask you some questions pertaining to your riding/setup and make a suggestion the will most likely be exactly what you want... that's what I did.. He was a very cool guy to deal w/...

That's what I planned on doing but he has been sick lately hasn't he? I am getting him confused with someone else?

Thanks for the imput. I also emailed a dealer for NuJet, & was told the NuJet 5.0 is more of a top end prop. So, I'll be using the 14.5/18 unless I find a decent deal on a concord prop.

I just talked to Keith at Impros yesterday... he gave me a good prop recommendation. Not sure if Dave is back yet, but Keith was very helpful. Should have my new prop in next week...

the 14.5/18 skat used to be the standard raceing impeller for the superjet.

I had onel, I asked around, and i was advised that it was too steep for a 650 superjet.

a 701 would likely pull it, but its not a bottom end impeller really either.

the skat swirl or solas concord are the ones to have, the lower the pitch the better.

anyone tried the nujet 14/17 was told it was good for freestyle? thinking about trying one .
