never tried one but i heard their a waste on money.. you have to monkey with them to get the correct pitch,also theirs special cams needed for the switch pitch configurations...he stated a 26 p so it is probably like a 21/26 pitch prop..

I only know of a few cruiser folks that think they are good, they are for sure not good on high perf boats only complaints from that arena!

It definately won't be the best top end prop. It's a pitch shifting prop for boats that need help getting on plane. Land & Sea quit making them. It looks like this guy bought out all of the inventory of parts: http://www.torqueshift.aeromarine.com/:pretzel:

Had a friend that had one was a 19 to 23 was kinda cool but need to be careful if they dont shift you can hurt the engine by over reving as he found out :bonk:Steve

Forget about it, tried a 21/25 with my old 17" SeaRay 5.0 Merc/Alpha 1... didn't bring good results. Acceleration and top-speed was better with my standard alloy 23P...

They break, and are not a good option for a boat that leaves the water. ITs hard enough to keep blades on with a 225 OB without worrying about a IO.
