thinking about getting my old gtr35 props rebuilt - have 4 old ones - damn venice sand & early experience of not getting my ass out the boat. they range from 10.5 to 11.25". my friend's father in law has a prop shop in florida & while he specializes in hatteras type boats, i'm thinking he has done some for mud engines before. anyway, anything special i need to tell him - or if he doesn't have gtr35 prop experience, do i need to get him a new one in his hands? around a yr ago, i brought the 10.5 to a local prop shop & they said don't waste your time - so i'm wondering if this could all be a waste of time/$. thanks

Waist of time

Could the guys running 23's have those rebuilt for their motor? Or is it still a waste of time?

If they are junk i'll take one so i can use it as a new prop and i will work fine on my 23hp. if not i can make a 9 incher out of it.

Why couldnt you take a brand new one to them and they copy it and build the other just like it?

You can rebuild them back up. I spoke to a prop shop about them being rebuilt, and he said he would have to add material to get it back to stock shape and form. The problem lied in the filler material being softer than the prop itself so possibly it could work in the clear water, but it will wear really fast in the mud.

Yep that's why my prop guy won't rebuild them!![/quote]

This wouldnt be Baggys prop shop would it?

yep, Baggy does alot of work for us on our inboard mudboats.

Oh i see why you pay 150 to rebuild it and it wear twice as fast just better to get a new one!

But i wounder about running a 35gtr wore prop on a 23gtr what it would put out?

Correct me if im wrong but werent the 11" props a tulip style prop?

So wouldnt a worn down big blade not be as effecient as a 11" tulip prop for the 23 GTR?

Yea i ran them also, But the reason i am asking is because he would still need to get the big blade props worked on so he should just by a new 11" prop. Talking about clickster.

But i can still get them cut into a 9 Incher for refuge purposes!
