Just as the hour meter rolled passed 70, we hit a good sized dead head with the X2 and dinged the prop. It's still usable, but vibrates a little. The game plan was to buy a spare prop from the get go, so I guess now it's time. I'm going to have the stocker repaired, but I want an extra prop incase we hit a major snag, it won't ruin out whole day. I also want a lower pitch, because we run 2300lbs and 3-7 people all the time. It still planes out pretty quickly, but it could use a little more punch. Right now the stock prop says, "OJ 13.7x17". It's a 4 blade. Has anybody moved to a lower pitch prop on a new X2? The manual lists the 14x20 for the Predator, and a 14x18 for the MCX from the factory. I have the MCX. We never drive fast anywhere, so top speed is not an issue. What's the hot setup? Acme Stainless Steel?
