THATS how a reworked prop should look
I got mine back and you could still see welds in the thing... Not balanced worth a damn either. Just gonna end up buying a new one and keeping this one for a back up...

Damn, that thing looks slick! Fill us in on the backstory... Changing pitch trying to get better speed/load carrying? That a stock GT you had worked on? |

its 985-868-0103 its a stock GT prop that I ran for 61 hrs and then got the mods done and it ran its ass off and then here lately im been having to bury it to the 4500 rpm range to make it run! S I decided to go to my good ole prop guy with it today and have a talk with him about it! and I decided to add 1'' of pitch to it and we was talking about how the new GT props aren't coming finished and that I was going to the GT dealer up the road and buy a new one and if he would polish it for me and I went ride there and they were closed cause of this weather me having so when I went back to get my wheel he comes bring it to me looking like a set of brand new chrome 26'' rims LOL and I started laughing and hes like what and I said I just wanted u to clean up the worn edges (make them back straight instead of wavey) and add a inch of pitch to it and that was it ! then had to explain that some of the new props are not coming finished! |

the prop had a total of 3/16 ish missing all the way around not just 1 way! it use to run rolling at 4710 but turning that I felt like I was slowing down so 1 day I said ill bump the trim down and I felt it pick so I bumpd it down again and it picked again so I played with it and 4400-4500 is were it was running the best after being worn down! |

ive dealt with powertech on small outboards and they are very inconsistent so I was thinking about having a prop worked to exact spec. Sent from an Apple Tree.. |

Pokey, I just nominated you for the New MMT award for longest run-on sentence at Post #9 Nice looking prop! The GT props remind me of a Chopper prop I used to run on a former bass boat. That boat screamed with that prop! Sent using Morse Code from my not so smart phone. |

Yep it can be done but with a mud motor I don't weld them back up cause we hit to much shit and I find the welded area will peel back so I just get my props grinded back equal and add pitch! |
