Post Need advice on prop
So I have 6 hours on my stock copperhead prop and every bit of the cup has been eaten slap off the damn thing. (Strangely it has lost none of it's diameter :?: )

Is there anybody out there using an alloy that yields better abrasion resistance? Or maybe a solid tungsten or depleted fucking uranium prop?? ;)

I'm open to suggestions on where to find an 11X10 or 11X11 prop that wont wear out so fast.....

Sounds like you've got a perfect reason to finish it off at the mudrun.

Anybody ran a Hill Marine prop on a small SD? I think Copperhead used to use them back in the day?
It doesn't look like it has much cup in the pictures.....

We ran a 12" hill today in some nasty shit and they dont do well out of the box need a little tweaking to make em grab better in no water but it runs good in deep water.

I've gone though 3 hill 11x10 on a 23hp they do seem to wear a bit fast. All we have is hard bottom really no mud. Don't think theres any thing that can hold up on hard bottom.

Same here...... nothing but hard bottom.
It isnt the hard stuff thats giving it trouble though. I havent lost any diameter. I guess its all the grit when i do finally find something it can chew.
