Cost of Prop Repair
Back around '97 or so, I had Kruger & Sons (Seattle) go through the
14.5X19 SS prop on Cruis'n Rulz!. Full meal deal; straighten, edge weld,
hubbed, polished. Cost: $125.00. Beautiful work, these guys do.
Today, same routine; $235.00.
I think next time around I'll just replace it.

| But yet after 9 seasons, *you're* the one still
bending, and grinding up Stainless Steel props.
Hummm. Maybe you should go with a Carbide
prop - that way you can just chew right through
them rocks and sand. :) |

(maybe a plug or slam on this particular shop?)
There are a ton of prop shops in Seattle, and yea,
stuff is always getting more and more expensive,
thats why you need to shop around. You also
failed to mention what the replacement cost was
for this 14.4x19 Stainless Steel prop Further,
what you are doing with this prop anytways to
be needing "straightening" and "egde welding" ? |

| You must boat in your bathtub if you don't know what a prop that has had
real service looks like after 9 seasons. Your post just highlights your
lack of experience. Also, I don't need to meet your standard of all
inclusive information. I'll let someone else educate you.
