In my opinion, having used many different pullers over the years, the Algonac is by far the best designed and easiest to use. Look around and you can find them for a decent price. Worth every penny they charge.

I researched this a while back and one thing I decided was not to spend a ton of money on an option I would use maybe once or twice. What I did find that worked for me was that the auto parts store by me allowed the rental of gear pullers for just $1!! You had to buy the puller and return it in the same day, for this they would refund the full price minus a dollar. One thing I found was I needed a puller with eight inches of clearance for the standard two blade prop on the 84 hull I have. I am pleased to say it worked like a charm and the $1 dollar cost was a big plus, hope this helps give you some ideas.

You can also rent a puller from any auto store. Either a two arm or three arm depending if you have a 2 blde or three blade. When I changed my prop last season, it took all of 10 minutes, if it gives you a little trouble, use a little heat to the bronze, not the SS shaft.
