I experienced a problem I was wondering if any of you have had.I have a 125 Merc with the Hustler prop in a 21 pitch and one at a 23 pitch.while cruising last week at about 50 (deep water no rocks) my boat rpm's kicked up and the whole boat shook.I raised the motor to notice 1 fin snapped off of the prop.I replaced it with the 23 and continued on.Two days later the same thing happened to my brand new spare prop , and the break was almost exactly the same.I heard these were rated to 65+mph and none of the dealers are of any help to me.I appreciate any comments on this prop that you can give me. Thanks , Ron

Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
