Prop Shop Propellers?? Need Info!

[Jon H.]

Hi all. I am building a tug of my own design. It's 45" long, and I
need a pair of 4"props for it. I was told of a company called "Prop
Shop" that makes a full line of cast brass propellers for model boats.
Not tho ones with the blades soldered onto the hub, but full cast
propellers like the real ones. Anyone know how to contact these guys?
Do they have web site?? Thanks!!

Harbor Models cast me a Kort nozzle prop 5.4" diameter for a 1:24
scale tug. If you could find a stock one, it'd be a lot more
reasonable than one-off.

I think the one in the UK is the one the OP wants:
http://www.britnett.net/propshop/index.html

The one that comes up on google that's in the U.S. has props,
but it doesn't look like it carries the nice scale props. -Wm

Maybe you could contact the www.floatingdrydock.com they have a selection of props under MUCH MORE catagory. They have 3 3/4 inch props which should be more than enough to power your tug.

Hey, this is Tux again their props ( floating Drydock) are fully cast brass props like you are looking for. Twin props at 3 3/4 inch will give you so much power it will be unrealistic unless you are pushing something. I have 2 1/2 inch twin props on an eight foot Perry class frigate and it really moves. They also have both rotations which is important.
