Tom, I don't know you, but apparently you have access to more knowledge bases than the average guy out to get a prop for his boat. Perhaps you could provide us with links or names of books we could purchase to bring us up to speed with your obvious level of expertise in this area. I think this would help us all understand a lot about props. I can't speak for everyone of course, but "marketing material" as you call it, seems to be the ONLY material we all have access to, except for you, of course.

OKAY, just my 2-cents,

Since most of us don't actually know you or your actual accreditation in the field of prop selection, you seem to come off here as a know-it-all, just do it my way kind of guy every time someone tries to discuss a prop selection. If you could just PLEASE link us some direct references that we can all read and understand, (I think the average educational level on this site is at least above 5th grade), and maybe lose some of the "father knows best" attitude and NEVER EVER make a statement like "I doubt" that someone told you that...that is definitely flat-out calling someone a damn liar in my opinion as well as others here, these prop threads could become a LOT more educational for us guys that only need to get ONE prop for our ONE boat application. We might even be able to keep a few more folks around that may have expertise in other areas of boating with Whalers for longer than 10 posts looking for a good prop to try on a Whaler application.

Don't get MAD, post some links to material that directly backs up your suggestions on propping, or post some book titles...HELP us PLEASE, don't get offended because we are not "on your level" and treat us like a bunch of idiots.

Thank you In Advance
