    I am looking into atempting to build a prop for the mud motor I'm building. I dont really know where to start. I have welding experience but a prop is a whole other ball game.

    The only reason I am looking into building my own is that I do not want to buy one for $130-$150. I am trying to keep this build as low cost as possible so if you know where to get a cheap prop for a mud motor please let me know.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
