Okay, I won't. 

I'm not sure I want to know the answer anyways.

I've done before. Hopefully it's not beyond repairable. Give Jack a call, he has some and may have used one.

I need his number. Someone can repair it but it ground that boat ramp pretty good.

A new one is on the way and a prop guy said the one can be repaired. No price on the repair yet and the used one wasn't cheap.  ~b~

Zippy a repair like you describe costs about $200 in our area.  Had a 4 blade done a couple years ago and it came out looking like a piece of jewlery.  It was pretty chopped up on the edges but none of the blades were bent just very chipped.

Found this on the web.......

The difference is like stated....the Raker LL is somewhat of a better quality material and the addition of venting. The old style takers where made with a softer stainless and would in fact flex and actually over time loose some of there cupping especially with the bigger hp motors and elevated engine heights.

Got this from scream and fly if anyone knows it should be those guys...

raker vs. raker II
whats the difference besides the hub system? i have a 22 raker that was repitched to a 23. i need to loose a few rpm and get the prop to hook better. i have the opportunity to buy a 24 rakerII for 225 thats a 9/10. should i get the raker II?

I have run lots of Raker 1 props in my OMC days, but I've not run the Raker II. The biggest knock I've heard from others running the Raker II is that they have relatively soft blades compared to the Raker 1 and therefore need to be resharpened on the trailing edges at the cup more often than with a prop running a harder blade material.

So one of these people are wrong  lo
