Our friend alokehovercraft has some GREAT products on sale:
High speed boat props - with threaded hubs
Universal couplings (for 2.2 mm motor shaft and prop shaft)
Threaded Prop shafts and stuffing tubes (brass)
What's more, he is selling them as sets available in clockwise and counter clockwise directions! Check the pictures, comparable to many international brands at a FRACTION of the price. I am really happy with these sets, they are far superior to what I have used for my builds.
He has also posted a small video:

here's a video on youtube which shows the performance of the propeller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZVHwKO2iFM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZVHwKO2iFM)...
I have tested this prop with a 2.3mm shafted brush motor on my 14 inch long craft and it pushes it with nose up attitude...this prop has a good pitch so it pushes the craft nicely at low and medium RPM also(never measured it though)...Dear VC Sir, kindly keep your experience posted about the prop performance in your crafts...
I havent made this craft which appears in the video above, it is a great piece of art by a fellow youtuber...
Any chance of providing bigger props with the same setup?

Dear Roopesh Sir,
Kindly post your review of the boat prop kit...
Alok I got the kit. Not only is the quality outstanding in every respect, I must also thank you for the new duster cloth. :giggle:
Beautifully packed, that plastic box will come in handy.
Please book another set for me and, as discussed, yet another set with a 12" or 18" drive shaft.
Also, please start planning on Scimitar props like these. These can be used on Submarines. Max Dia, at the moment could be around 40 or 50 mm.
Thanks again.
My 3000th. post. I didn't realise it, and this will take some time to sink in. Been a long time here. Thanks RCI. :hatsoff:
