    I am sure that Pat and Andy can chime in and give the owner a few good tips since they have leaps of experience with this hull.
    I think you called this one. It looks like there may be a number of issues here.

            I don't have a "before" but I did get it replaced. I took a good look at it when i put the replacement in the box. You really did an excellent job saving that prop!!

                Here is the famed "rock tumbler special" I put this thing in a rock tumbler with the medium grit for a few days. it started out as an Octura X642, but ended up detongued & the tips were squared off. Thanks to the expertise of Egneg, it is usable once more. I just don't know what it is now.

                  You don't look like an idiot, It's an optical illusion type of thing.
