What is the best Turbo Prop to use on the 22 Classic for top speed?

Turbo I 14.25"
Vector 14.5"
Lightning 14.75"

Does Turbo make a solid hub prop?
( I've already spun 2 [non Turbo]hubs this year :rolleyes:

Best online store for Turbo Props?

Scott Boldts, Sounds like your 22 is running great! I need either a Turbo Prop or to go on a diet :D

BTW A friend has a 13.75X23 (small hub) Turbo 4 blade FOR SALE if anyone is interested. Small hub will not work on a Alpha or Bravo.

I think you'll find the 23" to 25" range of Turbo 1 to be the best prop they make right now for the Bravo or King Cobra drive. I don't believe they make a solid hub, but they do warranty the hub and prop for a year with replacement.

Just a thought is the hub getting enough water to cool it, I know big power is hard on hubs but solid hubs are tough on the drives. Which is the lesser of two evils?

RickR, Yes, for the HP and gear my boat has, she runs pretty good since I put the Turbo1 on her. Much Thanks goes out to Tomahawk and Big Grizzly for the suggestion! Tested a Lightning and a Vector at AOTH this year and in the end went back to the Turbo1 for it's handling caractoristics and better speed on the top end. I didn't get a chance to run a 4 blade 2+2, but I've been told it works pretty well also although not as fast as the Turbo1.
