    Tempest 23 Pitch What looks wrong????

    I am looking at buying a 23 pitch tepest plus for $150 ( SEEMS LIKE A GOOD DEAL); however comparing a new tempest to the one I want to buy, they look different???? Am I seeing things??? Should I walk away? FYI they both have the same number stamped on them : 48-825864 23P


    This is the prop I am looking at buying, the buyer said there was cup added:


    This is a NEW 23 pitch tempest- Photo from ubove looks like a different prop:

    Did you ever try a 23M or a trophy. I have had much better luck with the M and trophy on my boat.

    I would not jump on anything. If you only have $150, save it for a few months. In the meantime, try every prop you can get your hands on.

    And always follow your first instinct. If something don't look right, leave it alone.

    I have a 23M and a 24 worked trophy you can try. If we were still having the tourney on the 21st that would have worked out good. I probably should get rid of the 23 as it is too small. The 25M is by far the best for me.

    If the 23 would work out on your rig we can work something out. May trade something, I'm sure you have something I could use you don't use anymore

    That way you can use the 150 to get it tweaked for your rig.
