Is it worth it to get this MB big blade re-worked? It is measuring 12" (brand new is 12.25). I got into some bad sand this past weekend and it chewed it up pretty good.

What do y'all think?

I am going to hold onto it for a spare. Just wondering if it is worth paying the money to have it reworked.

Id have it reworked and thenvhold on to it as a spare.

Get it worked they will add about 1 inch of pitch and re cup it and it will probably perform better than a new one ! And baggy's in Houma la does excellent work!!

Well I see ur north of the lake so Hopkins does good work too!

Barnes, isn't Hopkins right there in Covington? I have seen mixed reviews on them, though. I am in the same situation. Lot of wear on my prop. That thing starting to look like a filet knife! I think I am just going to buy a whole new motor, though!

Yeah he is in Covington. I am going to take it by there Monday and let him look at it and see what he can do with it. He told me I should have just bought one of his props because they are better than the big blade.

I have a 12x12 from him I could let go. Has about 10 hrs on it.

Hell you got lots of life left these were mine when I replaced them

Barnes let me know if he can fix urs bc I got one I need to get reworked

A while back I had Hopkins rework a mud buddy prop for a 29hp motor after it was worn down and it gave me back 3 to 4 mph.
I also had Hopkins rework a few other worn props, they all gained some type of performance back but never better than a stock my buddy.

They usually wear back down faster too.

Where is this ole boy that had this prop?

I want a 3 blade prop or speed too

I had a prop that looked pretty close to that one time....on a Mercury 150!!


And it was fast!

Is that prop Daleys?

I know he had a pretty hoped up but buddy

If u can find a shop that will add to the blade,weld meat back on..then its worth the trouble.
I find that when u just add pitch to a worn down surface drive prop.....u end up with a worn out prop with too much pitch.
Best to keep it as a spare..LIKE IT IS.
Save it for next time u go to that spot again.lol.
If u let a shop purdy it up for u, without welding, u will be paying them to take even more off.

That prop is still new if that's all that's worn. 1/8" on each side ain't shit.

I had Instigator work one for me. He added blade & cup. It was about 1mph off a stock BB but holeshot was awesome. Ran it at SETX for the 2nd 1/2 & Sunday & it gained 1.5 mph & kept the holeshot. Got it on the boat now w/ a new BB in the 1/2 box.

Seems like that ain't much ware. It should do better with that prop.

the only way to repair a prop is to weld it! i rebuild every prop the alabama marine police use in the entire state. i have never repaired 1 that didnt need welding. the trick is to weld your prop up when you lose a 1/4'' or so and its an easy repair. the people selling props love you guys no way in fuxx i would buy a new 1

Cr244 what you charge for mud props

Barnes, did u ever verify if the props from the guy in Covington outperformed the Big Blade?

12 1/8 x 12
And he said his prop is faster and gtr is a thinner not as good material

told me the same thing but compared it to the MB prop

Pintail just wants his gtr prop to be faster so he can drink some more koolaid

He told me reason y he didn't do mb anymore but I do rem what he said! I do rem what he said ab gtr but not gonna repeat it

Yeah what I read ppl say stay stock on the gtr

GT prop fastest. MB prop lasts longer.

No cheer leading here. The stock GT prop was better for me on my stock and modded Briggs compared to the mb prop. Now the Hopkins that was another story. The Hopkins isn't the holy grail of props but my modded Briggs loved it. Stock motors won't swing the 12x12.
