 Bad prop??This will be my 2nd year running a mud motor so I'm still a with the motor. I bought the motor used from a buddy. Beavertail 24hp LT. The prop looks like it has been used but I can't tell if it needs a new one. I know this past season I was getting about 13.5 with 2 people. It's on a 1448 short transom. With one person, it was right at 14 mph. I'll add picture if that could help. Thanks in advance guys

Re: Bad prop?? Also If you go with a 9x7 vs the x6 you will pick up a little speed. I did that with my 23 lt that I had on a 1548 and gained 2 mph.
