650/X-2 lol 650 prop change!

[mightymighty2stroke]

I bought a new prop a while ago for my 650, finally got around to installing it yesterday. The old prop made me laugh...that thing looks awful! The edges are like smooth pieces of sea glass that have been tossed up on the beach for years :smile:

A couple of pics...






With the new prop and a ride plate, she ought to feel a lot quicker now :cheer:

I believe it was a solas 16? To be honest I bought it a while ago and never got around to putting it on 'til yesterday.

Well, that was one problem, lol. Honestly it was my first 650, I just thought it was a turd like everyone says about 650's. I figured the prop had to look awful, as I knew the previous owner never changed it. Just didn't think it would be quite that bad, LOL. I cannot wait to try it out on the lake this weekend. She ought to feel a bit better!!

Noooo, not this baby. Most reliable thing I have ever bought in my entire life. Incredibly forgiving! She might be slow but she never lets me down.

Yes, it is a lot cleaner than most of the stuff he runs.
