when it stops running good.
sometimes they perform a little better once they have a little wear on them. continue running it until you see a loss in performance.

I have a 35gtr stage II...my prop has worn down to 11 3/4" but still runs good. At what point should I replace it. |

ok so I just went outside and took a mesurment.. 11"!! wow... I only have 30hr on it.. YES i hunt in Morgan City (Wax Lake) only 3 times this season, but I really didnt think the sand would do a inch damage already. Ill have to keep a close eye on it I guess! |

I wore down a GT 12" big blade down to 8" in 4 trips. It didn't stop getting on plane til' the end. So if the question is when it's gonna strand you, then you've got a little while. But performance?, my opinion would be after a couple mph drop off. |

I get one season out of a prop and then I will swap it out and throw it under the seat for a backup. They still run fine but they often get out of balance and beat up pretty bad,some of them look like a blade of a skill saw |

I would think there was a performance loss with those wheels. |
