 Best prop for rocky river Hi everybody. What is the best prop for a shallow rocky river? Just took my new gtr 37 out for the first time. The river ate it up. Looking for strength in the prop when I have to get through the gravel.
Went from a longtail to the gtr and I am very impressed. 28mph with 2 guys 200lbs and a 75lb dog.
Also, Is a new muffler worth it?
Thanks

Re: Best prop for rocky river Pretty much any prop is going to get eaten up by gravel. The only one off the top of my head that may handle it better is a hammer but a stock 37 without getting heads or cam will likely struggle and lug the engine.

Re: Best prop for rocky river Blue is right. A fat blade from gatortail is another option, but it has been my experience that the 37 can’t turn it stock, since it is basically a hammer copy. Those props would hold up better than other options, but you will need some performance work to turn them in the right power-band

Re: Best prop for rocky river Not sure which MM you have, but this is what we run on our rivers around here.
It goes on your skeg, and is slightly the lower than the prop.
