 Re: Mud Buddy Props
It's a good prop. Did you order the 12.25" Bigblade? And what motor are you putting it on?

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
I'm no prop expert, but I doubt you'll see much difference on an engine that small.

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
My old prop was worn out, and wouldnt bit in the mud it would only spin. the cup was completely backwards. I didnt get a new prop to get better performance just to upgrade from the worn out one. I tryed it this weekend in open water and it ran better but i didnt get a chance to really test it out in the mud.

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
hey how you doin, are you sure your old prop was 9x10? or was it 10x9? cuz if you go on go devils site. their 9 hp honda crawfish model runs a 10x9. i know u said you have an 8. but maybe you shoulda gone with a the 10x9. that'd be my opinion.

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
The Mud Buddy big Blade is a surface piercing prop and runs excellent. The prop was a joint development venture between Mercury and Mud Buddy and the finished product is made by Mercury Marine for Mud Buddy. At $210 bucks you aren't going to easily find another prop off-the-shelf that will run as well on big block motors as the big blade IMO.

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
Is the Godevil crawfish model designed to run under water or surface piercing? Cuz with the tiger prop your gunna get better speed in the shallows not deep water. And you'll be making a rooster tail lol It's no big deal if your engine can handle it. I kinda just wanted to know.
Ima check out them crawfish Models and learn more though

 Re: Mud Buddy Props
all small mm run sub-surface they dont have the spin to push themselves off on the water table alone 99% other than that copperhead thing they make
