[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 33559, member: 412"] You're pushing a dull edge instead of a sharp edge through the water. Fill your sink at home. Push a spoon through the water, then a knife. You're dinged up leading edges are slowing down the whole works because the motor has to work harder to push them through the water. Then the flow and volume of water over the blade face is being disturbed by air bubbles and turbulence created by the "dings", Lastly, that turbulence and air is costing you lift, and, if you're trailing edges are dinged as well that also costs you lift and again increases resistance.
