Post couple build questions
I'm looking to build my first mud motor and I have a couple questions. First I'm going to be running a 10 hp briggs and stratton. I want a ron hill prop and I'm torn between a 7x5 and an 8x4. Those are both 3/4 props and do you get a 1" shaft and turn your thread down to 3/4 or do you get a 3/4 shaft and thread it. Any help would be great. Feel free to PM me. I'll keep pictures of the project posted in return.

Thanks,
Bobby

7x5 for sandy bottom

8x4 for thick grass
