I had an aluminum prop on our old runabout that we brought to Florida


from Connecticut. We went through 3 or 4 props them our first year


in the Cape.




That bottom is pretty close to the top here isn't it ;-)

When I bought my Harris in 1985, it had a beat up old aluminum prop on

it and the first thing I did was replace it with stainless.


I start getting nervous when the water drops to 6'.
I feel much better with 100' below my nice painted hull. ;-)
