Another vote for BackH2O. I just got another 9x6 as backup for my 27HP MB LT. I have not tried it yet but it looks plenty stout. I did have success with my present Ron Hill prop, it replaced the second MB Tiger, so they are also worth a try.

I took a gamble on the Hill prop, buying it on ebay but it was 1/3 the price of a new one by the other mfg. It has not shown much wear, and I've gone through significant aqua-terrain. I can not really criticize it at all. The previous Tiger prop I sheared hitting some coral rock. The BackH20 prop looks good, though the finish is not as smooth as either the Tiger or Hill prop, but this might be cosmetic and not affect the performance at all. I know you are trying to save $ but you should have two props at all times, especially during duck season. :mrgreen:

I've had a Hill prop for 3 years with absolutely no problems. They shipped it to me fast, answered my questions, and it's run great. We only run mud, cattails, and weeds with not many rocks or stumps, so that may be a factor too.

BackwaterInc isn't a sponsor on MMT

So you can't refer to them

Weird.

Yup. You can use almost any expletive on the planet but not refer to a non-sponsor by name. :mrgreen: At least we don't have to pay for all the insults! I like free enterprise so I like to buy from the smaller innovative companies to keep the competition honest.

Its the same name as a competitor website. It has nothing to do with the longtail and prop company. They couldn't sponsor here even if they wanted to.
