Differences between Raker Props

[ranger195]

Folks im running a G2 250 with a 26 Raker HO . I dinged up that prop pretty good in the first 2 weeks of running it. So, i have a 26 Raker 2 that ive had for a while that is in 10 condition and considering using it on my boat instead of the HO, but im not sure what the difference between the 2 would be. I was extremely happy with the HO when it was perfect. But reading on several boards folks are claiming their not as hard of steel as the Other Raker props and i kind of believe that because it was mainly sand that dinged the HO.

So what are the differences and would i just need to switch out the hubs from one to the other? Are they the same inside?

Both are soft steel but the hub should fit the older prop if they are both square bore hubs. You can have the new one repaired to like new and have PVS holes drilled in the older one for venting if it doesn't have them now.
