I have a 35gtr with Mikuni Carb, Evt intake and exhaust, I am running a 12x10 Hopkins Tulip prop right now and it does ok in the mud. Would I be better off with the 12" Big Blade of GT or sticking with this prop. I am mainly looking for something that will work good in the shallow water and mud, not worried about it being fast or anything.

Send me yours and I'll send you mine and then see how you feel about it . I had a 12x12 hopkins on my modded brigs and the hole shot was not as good as the GT prop but it had lots of meat on it and was a beast. Pm Blaze he has it now and get his opinion.

As far as comparing both 12x10's I have not done it so IDK.

Like DG said the hole shot is not great with the 12x12. With a load it takes me a min to get up. I think the prop is badazz, and would recomend it to anyone. GT prop is goob but don't have the meat like that hopkins. I got a brand new GT prop about a month ago and the hopkins is back on. The first run out it got bent bad and I am waiting to get it back. If the shallow water your gonna be running has a lot of crap in the water go with the hopkins. I think the GT props are to thin. My buddy whos fixing my prop said the new was was a lot thinner than my original GT prop. Thats after 2 years of running it on my rig. Don't know if there doing something different or not. I sent a message to Kyle but never heard anything. As far as mud I think its about equal. In the lillies its the hopkins hands down. I ran through like they weren't there.

I got this hopkins when I had about 10 hours on my boat, so I didnt have a good comparison from stock to this one. The hopkins is starting to get worn so I just didnt know if I should order another or get stock when this one is toast.
