we were down by the old jettie's.... with a north wind, cranked up to get out away from them, had trolling motor down, was just going to EAAAAAASE out.... that didn't freaking happen, trolling motor could't pull us away fast enough with wind and current movement, had to crank big motor up, well you know what happened !!!

Bauman Marine in Houston can fix that up in no time for probably 1/4 cost of new.
I've got to drop mine off this week, had to rescue 2 bosts yeterday and i kinda found an oyster reef and was high and almost dri in 3 " of water . Needless to say the prop took some abuse getting the boat off the reef

I was getting parts for my Chris Craft at Olmsted Shipyard a couple weeks ago and they had a bunch of props in the back that were bought years ago, still in the box.
You might get a good deal cause they were bought by the ship yard a long time ago.
