Not sure where you are located but in Port Vincent there is a shop called the Prop Shop and a guy name Bow runs it. He has access to any prop you can think of and also custom makes them to fit your needs. Either you want to get out the hole quicker or more top end or whatever. He will also just give you some good info if you just give him a call. Very nice guy.

My boat ran good with the prop I got, its just damaged. Suzuki wants a lot of money for a prop, i'm just looking for maybe a different brand, something a little less expensive, I know in general props cost a lot of money, just looking to save a couple bucks...thanks

Go to an independent prop shop. They have more generic brands like Michigan Props.
YOu can get some good deals.
If you live in Erath, check out the big one in Abbeville, Toups.
Olmsted Shipyard in Lake Charles used to have a prop shop. The closed it down a few years ago, but still have a buttload of new props in the back. They were bought 10 years ago, they might be still have a price from 10 years ago.
