How much speed do you think I am losing due to these damaged propellers???

I would say 50%, those are toast. They will also cause you to loose 100% of your speed when the drive goes, whether it be an out-drive or an outboard you are vibrating bad and that will cause a broken drive. Always carry a spare yo you don't have to run a prop like that, even a cheap one will be better than this. From over revving to vibration to efficiency you are loosing all the way around.

I have been VERY concerned about Vibration relative to drive wear.

Shouldn't have used them at all.

Call TEAGUE and buy a prop for god sake ,you may want to try picking up the drive when beaching,pulling in the marine ,and launch ramps are hungry for skegs & props

Yeah - I did it at the ramp unfortunately. 2 ramps and one EVIDENTLY has some Clag or Oyster Shells or something at the bottom. I chose the wrong ramp obviously....

920-295-4435 ask for Brett. He can fix your problem. ;)
I'm surprised we haven't crossed wakes yet :boat:

Thanks.

Yeah unfortunately I wasn't able to participate in Jammin on the James, Hampton Roads Rendevouz, etc.... this year. Definitely in for those events next year....

Looking forward to meeting some performance folks around this area - there is almost NOTHING performance related where I am.

I had a prop look like that after the Sarasota run.
Boat still hit 99mph with it.....before I knew it was bent up!:p
