Default Thanks Ray
Some of you probably saw my post, about a month ago, that I was looking for a good used stainless steel prop. Ray PM'ed me and said he had one he'd give me. After several failed attempts to meet up with Ray, I finally caught him while on my way to Grand Isle last week. I put the prop on that night and the boat runs like a champ now. This site seems to be full of good people. Thanks again Ray.

Glad it worked out good. Did it run like the other prop.?
Or was there any difference in speed, hole shot?
There as a lot of difference in the two props. Just wondering...

LOL, with my boat I'm not sure you can call it "hole shot" but it was better, and I didn't have my gps to verify it but the speed seemed better too. Only thing is it may need to be pitched down a little for me, maxed out I'm turning about 4900rpm(the old aluminum was turning 5900) but with a lot of weight onboard. Good thing is I can have it pitched for about 1/5 the price of what I was going to pay.

Yep, it needs to be tuned down some. You need to run at around 5500 rpms. with a 2 stroke Mercury.
But at least you can still fish.

My old alligator/duck hunting boat departed Cameron during Rita. It was found a few months later, under Dr. Smyth's house at Pelican Point.
The boat was upside down, under a bunch of debris. The motor was froze up, the only things I was able to save off of it was the motor cover, foot and the prop. I got rid of everything but the prop., no one wanted it.
It sat in the shed for 5 years. My wife wanted it gone, but I didn't want to throw it away. Couldn't even sell it on Ebay.
My buds and I got a new motor but lost the boat again for Ike. Never found her.
