Whatever dude the shit ain't no dam magical like you describe it i gave him name and pitch you the one trying to find out more to tweak ur motor sounds like you went down that rd I just luck up and got a magical prop I tell it what to do and it goes go find a genie bottle rub it and make a wish for the best prop then when you start describing it on here ima be on ur ass with questions like white on rice..,
I'm telling you dude nicely let's kill it here....

People talk highly on the net I tell you buddy ima find your ass that's a promise I'm not taking ur shit getting rude with me off of something I was entitled my opinion to I'm not letting this one go I ask you kindly to kill it

Man you keep bashing me who wouldn't get mad but I'm mad cause my rig and ur rig is 2diffent combos we not goin to perform the same in no way I might can out run u all day maybe you can outrun me allday we will never Im trying to get u to see the point I can put my magic prop on ur boat and you would probably throw it at me I might do the same with ur prop but I would throw it harder at you overall I'm trying to say no rig will perform the same with or without a magic prop

Man honestly what I can do for u is if you just happen to run through Morgan city la
I will personally hook up to my boat take you to the boat landing lanch my boat put u in my boat and show you everything I explained about my magic prop and I won't even hurt you nore bring up this conversation all I want is a solid handshake after I prove my theory CB remember nothing out the ordinary with magic I hear guys claim they run 35mph all day long but have yet to show me or back it up I'm offering you an onhand course on mine that's all I can do is show you cause we not getting nowhere cursing each other all we doin is everytime we hear a name close to each other handle we swinging but lets keep it civil and I'm offering a ride that's the lease I can do

And I hate my stock prop it brand new still has paint on it ,,,it turns way to many rpms I burn way more fuel and it makes my boat ride flat don't get me wrong if you need to carry a good load that's the prop but I like hauling ass that's why I talk highly of my magical prop And where I hunt is always cake with Lillie's stock prop I go about 200yrds then I'm done with my magic prop I chop them like a weedeater but like I say maybe its somethin I don't know about the prop but my rig likes it and when I ware it down Ima order the exact same one but ima still keep my pd prop as a spare..

First~ For cryin out loud Hershey please use some punctuation marks. Here I have plenty you can have some if you are out. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!::::::::::::::::::;;;;;;;;;;;;?????????????????((((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))"""""""""""""""" That should hold you off for at leat your next few post.
Second~ It's no secret PD has not spent alot of time with prop research and developement. Many of us remember the props Stumpgrinder was working on. Those were some good performing prop. So yes there is much to be improved on.

Hard to use that when you trying to prove somethin.....
Excuse the grammer,,, back in 1945 we never use that,,,,we barly learned how to spell and it's the cb guy that's wants to know all the prop improvements I could care less long as I keep my genie bottle and my magic prop..... I'm happy!!!!!

I've got a 12x14 Hopkins sittin on my shop floor that motor can probably spin at 7000 rpms if I wanted to.

I got the prop off someone else and sent it to Hopkins to see if it could be rebuilt, and he said yea no problem. Paid 100$ for the rebuild and sent it back to him twice, with the results barely changing, so I just gave up.

Cb is right in a way say u buy a dozen of arrows and u may get 3 out the dozen that fly straight I guess it's the same in the prop game everybody I know downs them to but I guess I luck up and got a good one out the bunch!! But I can't seem to get him to understand that!!!!!

Tell u what od u want to sell it or trade it for a brand new stock prop let me know!!!

Maybe we will never understand each other cause u sure confuse the hell out of me lets just kill it and start over I ate my frosted flakes this and plan on having a good day!!!!


Od I will get with you give me till around after 6:pm

I think cb is taking a nap.

I have been looking as weel for the so called "genie". Hershey, take some pics os the prop and maybe we can get a better understanding of you description. It may look like just an everyday prop to some but others may notice the little suttle changes that are different.

Hershey, put your numbers in the prop calculator, 4000 rpm and 34mph, results come back as prop slip is a negative number. If u didn't know, prop slip can't be a negative number. A also call BS on your speed estimates.
And who at Hopkins quoted u $480 for a prop and no warranty. U can get a brand new prop for a prodrive for ~$280 and send it back as many times as needed to get it set like u want for free.
Take a pic of your wheel and post it here.

Been running the Hopkins 12x14. Like the stocker better. The Hopkins doesnt have the bite in the thick chit that a stock wheel does. Maybe Hershey got lucky but my money says it cant be repeated and his next one wont run 34. Good fishing prop though and when new is smoother running.

Gonna attempt to put my new wheel on in the morning. Got me fingers crossed that it won't be too bad.

Ok I got 29 on new pd prop. 12 pitch. My bottom not straight after a few years crawfishing. Runs fastest at 3900 but I can turn 4400. Suggest I bring to baggy and get pitched up to a 13?

I run Hopkins props because the last longer in the sand down here on the coast. It is a crap shoot with every prop i order from him. His price went way up and I have sent 3 props back to him trying to get them to perform on a stock 36 PD. I am not sure if I will buy another one from him or not. I will say I can get a longer life from his props over the piece of shit cast stock props. Stock props are VERY soft compared to Hopkins.

This is what the last one cost me back in January 17, 2012


Here is what the one before the last one did in deep water. I had to idle back to the ramp. He would not warranty it until i told him. I was sending it back for him to take a closer look at it to show I had not hit anything to cause this break. This prop would just blow out on take off but would run very good on top end.

It seems to me that Hershey has no reason to lie or intentionally mislead anyone. He seems like a decent guy. He's here like a lot of us-to learn a lot and share a little when he can. Yea, everybody gets fucked with here, so there's no reason he should be any different, but there's also no reason for anyone to go out of their way to do it.

On the other hand, that does seem a wee bit faster than what might be expected;)
How about a cell phone gps video?

I also have and run a 12x13 cleaver from time to time. Mine cost $295 just like the last fella but $311 with shipping.

Things I have noticed as well as my hombre whose been with on some of our tests.
All things equal as far as boat set up goes, we both feel the hopkins has a better hole shot, and I am seeing .5-1.5mph gain at the same rpms current/wind and river conditions being the big factor in that. Hopkins has no problems in heavy veggies, cant say for deep mud cause we dont have any.

Stock prop is a great prop, I picked up a new one to level the playing field. I do need some more time on each to be certain, but for the time ive had on each going back and forth this is what I have come up with.

Side note: my motor is not currently running at its potential, so things may change.

Bottom line...

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Someone please make an animated video like Dguidry's between CB and Hershey on this thread.

I just ran this prop this morning!!!! Sounds like i ended up with the most sought after prop on MMT!!!

How'd it do?

He's excited about it...

Ran good,,,but its a serious prop!! Huge amount of cup! I could only spin it 4450rpm...

How fast it ran?

Ran really well I rode with him
