Re: Education on props??

You can still do your homework, & get educated on the subject, pick out the prop you want & buy it when the time arrives. No harm in being prepared.

Re: Education on props??

Re: Outboards On Ebay???

I agree with you Bob & you have a great point. BUT, 5 month ago I inquired on a boat from a west coast builder. The boat can handle 400hp. So I asked for the run-down on prices on the brands the manufacturer uses. Twin 200 Optimax's, Twin 200 Zukes, & Twin 200 Verado's. Ok, prices are fine i...

Re: New Boat

I know once on step it will be ok, but I am worried about getting it there. That was a problem on my Lund, With 4 guys in the boat it took a bit to get on plane. My spare prop is 2 inches slower, I put that on once to try it with 4 people and it gets on plane really well now, lost 3 MPH, but saftey...
