 Gator-Tail Props!! Houston Area Prop Guys... I have had a lot of people PM'ing me over the last week and sorry to be short with some or not respond to others... Most of the questions were directed at the props I had re-worked.
So, if your in the Houston area and need your GTR prop reworked, contact Louis Baumann at Baumann Marine and tell him Coe Parker sent you. He has perfected my 3 GTR props and took
these:

and turned them into this: (note the far left prop I am testing & playing with... the middle props have been reworked, the far right one is brand new from gator-tail)

Re: Gator-Tail Props!! Houston Area Prop Guys... The pictures you see of the 2 worn out props are the exact same 2 props that are in the reworked picture... both of those props are in the middle....

Re: Gator-Tail Props!! Houston Area Prop Guys... Shoot, I forgot the price... $140-150 for that much welding & material needed to be added on.... Heck of a lot better than $250 or whatever they run... Also if your props don't need that much welding you can discount the price slightly they said... Its like 88 + 40-50 in welding material etc... so looking at somewhere between 120-150 depending upon the prop wear and how much they have to build back into the blade etc.

Re: Gator-Tail Props!! Houston Area Prop Guys... The 2 in the middle are identical the GTR stock prop 12" 10P... they run great. The one on the far left (picture of 4 props) is the one I am toying with. James & I are running different pitches to see performance gains playing with cupping etc.... That prop on the far left needs some more material added to it but its a 12" 12P bigger bad a$$ blade  there some cupping on the lip instead of the progressive blade think we are going to take it back to an 11P make it progressive and add some cupping to the tips (flare whatever you call it) again still toying with it for fishing & deep water...
