De Necker props are lekker, beautiful and work well, They are two blade props and as such are a little rougher than 3 blade props
Warp drives are well tested, strong durable props with the advantage of being able to set the pitching exact, as opposed to a fixed pitch prop.
I had a Challenger II with a 3 blade prop, that I replaced for the factory supplied Tennessee 2 blade wood. Fantastic prop, specifically designed for the Challenger. It performed better than my 3-blade because it was the correct 60" length, where the previous owner had shortened the 3 blade for some reason. But being two blade it vibrated a lot more, and took a little getting used to.
Correctly tweaked the Warp is a brilliant prop
