Does that mean no chillers and smaller pullies mommy?
hmmm... considering i'm running 1075's??????? i'd bet you are A-OK!
FYI - I ran those props on two events..... my friend, richard, whom has a 368 w/ 1400's ran the exact run, nearly side-by-side, and when we got back on the trailer, his 1200 hp propellers (not Throttle-up's) were all nicked up.
the "old style" Throttle-Up props, which is what we are all currently running have had the porousness (sp?) of the metal significantly reduced compared to most of the other props out there.... so, if you're talking thickness-to-thickness, Throttle-up 850hp props are/should be stronger/tougher and more able to withstand "the elements", including debris, heavier boats & larger hp engines vs. the identical propeller of another brand.
re: "old style" ---- the "new style" props are even thinner, with the "golden" coating, which makes them as tough, or stronger/tougher, than the "old style", thicker props (which, remember, are already stronger/tougher than most of the other's).
so, Throttle-Up has just 1-up'd itself.
PS: Also, they have, for the last two years, held the title, "World's Fastest Propeller"..... It will be interesting to see what happens this year with this new "golden" #6, outboard and stern drive prop.
Way to go, Matt, Julie and the entire Throttle-Up Team!!!!!!!!
------- now quit being so humble and let all those guys who keep throwing blades realize A) how dangerous it is (ala Gary Smith & Aqua Mania) and B) how much of a hassle and expense it is to be carrying around duplicate sets of props --- in case you throw a blade? :willy_nilly:

ps: unfortunatly, however, i can attest that if you back into a wooden piling, they will bend! (and no, GL, before you ask, I did it w/ the set that is currently on my boat, not the set you have.). :banghead:
