Ok so I called and have a message in to two guys there at hill, and anticipate a call back within the next hour or 2. Early reports are that they may be able to work something for us.
I spoke with Chad from Hill Marine and he said that they would offer a 10% discount if you mention that you are coming from clubsearay.
Looks like you guys with Alpha drives will have a less expensive upgrade from them. Bravo II props are significantly more, but in talking with Chad and discussing my performance (out of the hole, and minimum RPMs to hold plane), he thinks I will see quite a significant improvement. He said in comparison to my 17.75x21 pitch aluminum 3-blade props, I could expect a quicker hole shot, hold plane longer at a lower RPM, and also see improved maneuverability around the pier and in general. I'm really excited to give it a go. Just have to verify my current prop size/pitch, and get some speed/RPM readings for him to double check his recommendations.
