Freestyle Skat-Trak Swirl or Impros Hooker

[rnyhome]

Just bought freestyle sj and looking for a little advice on which impeller to get. Looking for more bottom end, and ski currently seems to have tons power in the mid-range, but doesnt have the pull on bottom end pop I am looking for. Think its a Solas on there currently on there but haven't pulled off yet and don't know the model or pitch. I ride on Lake Ontario and we have a mix if flatwater, and chop, depending on day.

Engine Mods:
Factory B Pipe
MSD
ADA Heads (pump gas)
Reed/reed spacers
dual 46mm Mikuni Carbs
Ported and Polished by Paul Lehr (JR Magoo's)
Wiseco Pistons

Might be forgetting a few things, but it is built for freestyle but doesnt seem to have that bottom end pop. Going to try new impeller first but not sure whats the best impeller for bottom end. Any one ever compare a hooker to a swirl.

Yes a few people have compared swirls to hookers and the reviews I've read basically said they are very similar and hard to tell the difference between them. So if you can find one for a good deal, go with that one. Pitches are totally different though. 9/15 hooker is comparable to a 13/18 (I think).

Go with the 10/15 hooker it hooks up.

Love my hooker prop, saw one on the local cl today for around 220.

You found a hooker on cl?

i have a solas 14.5/18 and ordered my 9/15 hooker yesterday from impros and am counting down the days till it shows up. hope that will make the difference that iv been looking for.

 

[motoman96]

You found a hooker on cl?

Yup, said only 20-30 min of time on her too.

Lol, you're gullible.

Thanks, think I will order a hooker, now not sure whether to get a 9/15 or 10/16 but I will ask Impros what they think. Everyone seems to love Hookers

i have a ski in my garage with 10/16 and when i get my 9/15 for my ski hopefully tommorow il post the difference. if i can tell. does anybody know if there will be a fifference or not?

 

[motoman96]

I run a 10/16 in my fx1 with a sj pump conversion and it's stupid how hard it pulls bottem to top. I have a 13/19 in my mag pump on the rev and it also has stupid amounts of lowend. Call an talk to Dave at impros.

Bringing back a old thread. How do you tell the difference between the two? I have what I was told is a 13/18 hooker, but I am wondering if it is a skat.
I have been running it in my non-pv 838 and been wanting to try a lower pitched prop, but I am unsure on what I am running.

Skat will have a "SKAT" imprint in it. never saw a 13/18 Hooker, the skat has a 12/17, so 13/18 sounds about right for the next size up.

^ skat says skat on it, hooker has just the size hand scribed. Hooker is also -7 cutback.

 

[IS0LD0UT]

Thanks.

ive had both the skat 13/18 and the hooker 9/15... and when my ski actually ran i couldnt tell the difference AT ALL!
