Over the weekend I was haulin *** down the river (which by the way is lower than normal thanks to the drought) and hit a sandbar. No damage to anything other than it chewed the porp up real bad.

Anyways, I am looking for advice on getting a new prop. I have a 1989 ArrowGlass 23' cuddy with a Merc 5.7 Alpha1. Since it is used for cruising the river I need something that is durable and good on performance. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Ditto.

But since you are here, after plowing through a sand bar, it would be a good time to replace your raw water impeller.

"that is durable"
Better your prop take damage then your outdrive. Just think of them as a crumple zone for your Alpha. :D
