Just wanted to show you guy's a prop I ran this morning (2-15-09) I was doing a test run and at 80.1 mph/gps 5500 rpm I noticed a sudden vibration, I went back and loaded the boat and this is what I found (see pic's), this could have been a major disaster in more ways than one :eek:... What's so bad is this isn't even my prop.

Let this be leason to you, inspect your prop, it will prevent a bunch of problems if you ever through a blade. Take a good close look at your present propeller, if you see a crack as little as 1/16 of an inch, have it repaired before running again, that little bitty crack will grow like cancer...
