After wearing through GT props I decided to try the MB 12.25" prop for my GTR. At 180 bucks a piece I bought two and hoped like hell it wasn't a waste of money. On my original post concerning the props, I was asked to write a review on the prop so here it is:

To keep it short, with my GTR 35, the stock GTR prop wins handsdown in every category except one:

The GTR prop is 1-1.5 mph faster than the MB.
GTR has noticably better hole shot in both clean water and mud.
GTR carries a load better.
GTR performs much better in heavy vegetation.

However, the MB prop is holding up MUCH better than the GT prop. At 35 hours with the GTR I had noticable wear on the prop w/ about 1/8"-1/4" lost. At 40 hours, the MB is showing no signs of wear whatsoever. The prop looks basically brand new, the only change is the that the leading edges look more polished than out of the box. No measurable loss. Keep in mind that both props were put through the exact same conditions (running the same traps every day).

From my experience (which it may/will vary from others), on my boat. the GT prop is a much better performer than the MB, but the MB is much more durable.

I am very happy with the MB prop, it has held up like I hoped it would. But as soon as crawfish season is over, the GT is going back on.

The GT prop has a thin trailing edge a thicker one last longer but sacrifices speed etc. I have tried many props and best is GT prop 10P. If you can run 11P then go for it. 12P is too much lol

I too also tried the MB prop no gain or loss of speed.

I ran a hopkins 12x12 on my old motor and it was a beast. Your motor needs a set of nuts to swing it though. Some folks have had bad luck with hopkins props slinging flukes. They are not cheap but they hold up well to wear.

Any time you need to know about how a prop works on a gt let me know I have run everyprop that can be put on a gt..

Shame on you Gator Tail boys for putting Mud Buddy parts on your motors.

This sounds more like an "unbiased" review. I'm curious DDM, what did you think of the MB prop?

Wilson go back a couple of weeks back I told him it was a 1 1/2 mph slower same thing he posted I wrote I'm not trying to be a smartazz but I have run every prop that could be put on a gt 2 blade and 3 some people have not even seen

Mark I ran a mb prop on my gtr and it didn't perform as well as the GT prop.

Same hear

The Hopkins 12x12 is 1 mph slower and is way slower out the hole it trims put well and lifts the ass end of the boat but is just a Lil to big for the gt. I had them made in a 11 inch and they performed well that was what I ran before the big blade!!

The 12x12 I ran was slower out the hole but I got better top end with it at lower rpms. With a big load it didn't do as well either. I compared it side by side in the same conditions on the same day.

12x12

I am running Dog Walkers hopkins now and its still holding up. Like they said slower out the hole but I run 31-32mph at 3800 rpms. Its a progerssive pitch and thats why is takes a little longer to get up. I dont find a difference in the mud but the hopkins runs better through grass and lillies.

So...just curious. Has anyone ever run the GatorTail prop on a Hyperdrive and was it faster than the MB Big Blade?

I bought a MB prop after wearing out my GT prop and I had the same results as everyone else... I have put some mods on my boat and still never ran a good(New) GT prop yet.. My old GT prop is 11" now... I cant wait to buy one to see the full results!!

I will run the MB prop during duck season hunting the Wax being it well hold up a little better in all that sand, but as for fishing and just riding I will deff have another GT prop!!!!

Hands down GT prop wins this battle for GTR Morors!

The mb prop will fit on the gt but the gt won't fit on the mb!! He couldn't copy the hex shaft to the exact sizes!!
