Post Is my prop worn?
I just got a used Mudbuddy Mini 18 HP and I'm wondering if a new prop would boost my power a little as it seems like my boat should be going faster. I don't plan on going in mud, mostly I just want to deal with weeds. If this prop looks worn, what make/size should I get? Here's some pics of the prop that's on it ...

Doesn't look bad to me, my prop got very sharp and pointed when it wore out.
Might want to check the cup, something banged the leading edge in one spot.

Looks like a big blade but not sure what they put on the minis. If it is a big blade and under 12" you probably need a new one with that HP. If anything you will need a new one before long so wouldn't hurt to go ahead and order one, slap it on and see what happens.

I would get a new one and start there that's the best bet and have the cup put back in that one and use it for mud and sand

I measured my prop, it's 9-1/2" across. So I will be ordering me a new prop, the 11 x 10. In fact that's what the guy at Mud Buddy (Micah) said I needed for this engine/boat. Hopefully the new prop will liven things up.
