Piranha Propellers, Inc. began and was founfed in 1988 by Brad Stahl and Eric Jochim. Stahl was a 1984 graduate of Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo in aeronautical engineering and Jochim was a 1971 graduate of Oregon State University in civil engineering. A Christmas dinner sparked the conversation about the cost and inconvenience of propeller blades breaking. This was the beginning of Piranha Propellers, Inc.
In June 1990, the two were issued U.S. patent #4,930,987. They continued to make refinements and realized the world's first modular composite propeller was on its way.
Now, Piranha has a complete line of props for sterndrives, outboards, and inboard-outboards ranging from 9.9 to well over 280 horsepower.
