Thanks for the input guys. I tried to get a loaner from my dealer but they are closed until next Monday. I may order the 24 Fury and leave it box stock. I thought I was doing the right thing by having the 25M balanced and blueprinted but I guess that makes the prop more prone to have cracks. What a drag though, my daughter is away at camp this week so my wife and I were going to fish every afternoon after work. We had a good afternoon yesterday and were excited about going back today. I guess I am boatless for a week. Chris
