I have a 24 hp MB HD running on a 1648 Prince craft Mod-v with steel flex on the hull. I am in need of a new prop. Has anyone tried running a MB "Big Prop" on a 24 hp? It comes stock with a 11x10. I will be hunting a rock/gravel bottom 75% of the time. I wore out my current prop and popped a belt on a gravel bar my last trip on the river. While out scouting a couple lakes I was running in skinny water and just mud. Noticed I did not get as much "push" as I should have and then checked the prop after having to "push" my boat out of some concrete looking pudding mix. I also am running a shim and I think that had alot to do with getting stuck because I couldn't get the prop down deep in the mud. SO will a big prop help out when I'm in the mud and handle a load while running a gravel river? Or should I stick with a 11x10 that is factory. Thanks! BC

I have a GTR 35. But if i was you i would stick with the factory prop and maybe try to tweak it out to get that "PUSH" that you talkin about. The 12.25 prop that Mud Buddy offers might be a little to much for that 27 HP, im not for shure but it is a big prop. You can always add a little bit to the prop and put a little cup in it to make it push. Where are you located? If your close i can get that done for you.

I have the 12.25 x 10 on my MB 27 and am considering dropping down to the 11 x 10. The 12.25 x 10 only lets my stock 27 turn up to 3900 rpm's and it likes running deep. Seems like it should trim higher without blowing out. I might take it to a prop shop and get some more cup added to it, or just get an 11 x 10 to try.

BTW Is there much of a difference between the MB 11x10 and a GD 11x10? I found a GD prop for a decent price but don't know if it will work as well as the stock MB prop. Any info you could share? Thanks, BC

Shure deal man. My dad owns a place in Lafayette, La called The Prop Shop. I talked to him to day and he you can find his adress on the internet. He also has a new website coming up in a few days. Send him your props with a paper in the box saying what you want done to them. He has the best prop guy around. When they come in i will go take a look at them for ya. I could test run em for ya, but i got a gator tail so it wouldnt be the same. You can give him a call to if you have any questions. He'll fix you up ma man.

And by the way, GD props are 7/8" threaded. IF im thinkin right Mud Buddy has a hex slipon. So i wouldnt buy it. Theres no way to put it on.

oh ok no prob..go ahead and get the address on the internet for The Prop Shop in lafayette. Send the props to him in a box and when they come in ill go there and check em out. They'll get them righ tfor you man. Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time.

Is this the right guy??
