hard to sneek a 72" 5 bladed brass prop across the border.

Yeah, and more than a little difficult to have the old one on hand to
show it was a replacement. When our raw water pump went out a couple
of years ago, we ended up paying about $100 for a $30 pump, since they
added the shipping cost in and charged aduana for that too! There are
agents who will drive stuff across the border (sneak it in) and then
ship it to you from inside Mexico, but when we tried that once, they
screwed it up and sent it to Guadalahara and it took weeks to finally
get it...cruising is always an adventure.
