Mine was pretty good. Today was really nice at the start. Local lake looked like this

Got to see this

But unfortunately at around 3:00 pm this rolled in

Finished off the day with this

Had to beach the boat because there was nowhere to dock it and the wind blew it sideways causing it to get stuck on shore. had 3 people trying to get it unstuck wound up taking 2 people pushing the front and me using reverse to get us out. Got the boat out but unfortunately lost the prop as a result.
Guess I can justify buying a higher pitched prop now and will probably pick up a spare as well.

We took out my Stryker and the HydroStream today, had a great time but blew up the lower unit on my HydroStream on the way back in...Guess I'll tear that one down tomorrow...

Am I going to see a considerable difference in the performance of my boat with a cupped SS prop? Right now it has an 18 pitch on it and I was thinking about going to a 20 SS and cupped. Just wondering if it'll be worth it since my boat only has a V6 in it.

I'm glad I was working today. Otherwise I would've been right there with you rebending mine! ( bent it the last time I was there) no SS prop for me anytime soon!

So what's going to be the advantage or disadvantage to running a 4 blade prop as opposed to running a 3 blade?
