why anyone would buy a brushed stainless steel prop when he has
never been successful in finding a paint that will actually stay on
the prop and he knows that the brushed finish will rust.
The brushed stainless props are usually closer to the 304 end of
hardness, the shiny ones are more like 316 that is not as hard. (there
are really lots of stainless alloys)
If you never hit anything you probably want shiny with thin blades for
performance. Folks who live around shallow water want it to be a tad
bit harder with thicker blades, giving up a little speed for
durability. That shiny, thin blade prop loses a lot of its performance
edge when it gets a few dings in it.

The other reason I have heard of painting props is to trick thieves
into thinking it is aluminum and maybe they won't steal it but I am
not sure that works

Wow, some useful info.
Got a feeling you actually boat some.
Hooray for Florida!

The prop I got is the one Parker said performed best on my model boat
with the engine I had. All the performance spec sheets I have seen
indicate Parker was correct. Therefore, there seems to be no incentive
to blow $400 on some fancy SS prop.

So you lied when you said you have a stainless steel prop?

Did you skimp on the prop for the lobster boat, too, asshole? Do they
make a cheap substitute for a NIBRAL prop?

The crickets are waiting...

Anyway, here's a snap of Yo Ho's business end. I'm waiting for the
shrinkwrap guy to show up this week. Wrapping the exhaust after the
motor drains is part of the winterizing process. I've got to spend a
few minutes removing the rust from the prop and repainting it. One of
these days I'll find a prop paint that actually stays on the blade
tips. :)

Your wife is getting pretty good. I see the mud and sand in the shallow
areas of BP marina have done their work on your propeller. Maybe some day
they'll dredge that place again.

Anyway, as usual that Canon is doing a fine job. The propeller cover is
almost in perfect focus.


Let's see. You've never seen me launch or retrieve my boat, so you
obviously are not away that I do not power the boat onto the trailer.
You've never seen or met my wife, yet you comment about her. You think
the photo I posted today was taken with a Canon camera. You're wrong
about that, too.

No wonder we got our asses kicked in Vietnam. Officers like you were too
stupid to lead.


"away that I do not power the boat"..

What are you trying to say, journalist?

Harry, Reggie was trying very hard to be nice to you. I think he's seeing
the primer used to hold that black paint to your stainless (?) prop. It
does resemble rust, but the picture is not in focus enough to be sure.


Let's see some more photos of your wife, Herring. Better use that
ultra-wide lens, eh?

Let's see photos of Karen, WAFA. Is she even your wife? Why didn't she
take your last name? Were you an asshole back then, too?

Why paint a stainless prop? Surface rust on 304 SS is normal ... if
you don't boat a lot. It really isn't hurting anything. If I am out of
town for a few weeks and not boating I see a little on mine. It buffs
right off after an hour or so of running

I dont worry about mine. If it has blades, it goes.

Harry is too stupid to realize that, and actually posted that he didn't
want to "blow" $400 on a SS prop! WAFI!

Harry,

I don't believe in the philosophy that a photo should capture exactly
what you saw. I follow the philosophy that a photograph should
capture what you felt.

Perhaps if you were sober...

Your photoshopping stands out more than your photos. Which is why I
think they suck. Some of the compositions would be interesting if the
lighting were realistic.
I have never been delusional that my photography or my post processing
would put me in the category of the Masters of Photography. I do hope
I learn something everyday and continue to improve, which is why I enjoy
critiques. I take a lot of photos that I just delete, I take some that I
really like, and sometimes others like too. I figure if I take 12 great
photos a year, that is a good crop.

Now if all I did was go out and take a snapshot, I would sell my camera.

Most of your photography seems to take place in photoshop. Seriously, I
think your photos would be better if you "processed" them a lot less.
They *look* processed.

Maybe you could get your wife to critique some of Reggie's photos.

It's undetermined if he's actually married. Karen has the house, and a
different last name. Who could blame her but why shack up with WAFA?

Taking lessons from JimmyH, huh? Doing a little wife attacking now? Cheap,
Harry, even for you.

Bad day at the mirror?

Even JimmyH abandoned him. Karen can't be too far behind. What does
WAFA bring to the table?

Maybe you could get your wife to go on a diet.

Maybe you could get your "wife" to let you on the deed to her house?
What would happen if she died in a car wreck?

I suggest you leave my wife out of your posts, and I will do the same
regarding yours.

You don't read your own posts? You are a narcissistic asshole, WAFA.
Now you want to call a truce?

The game has only begun!

Harry, *you* are the one who brought up the photo your wife took. I
didn't.
Is complimenting your wife's abilities the same as the snide comments you
and JimH make about my wife?

I'm really surprised Gene hasn't stepped in to correct your bad manners.

Maybe because Gene is a whole lot smarter than your average Dope Army

He can see through your little games.



Maybe because he's not using Gene's server and Gene has no control what
idiots like you post here.

A D700! Wow, Harry. And, why, Harry.

Do you really think you've got the abilities to warrant the purchase of a
D700? Was the D200 holding you back because of its limitations?

What a joke!

He can afford it, John. He doesn't have a mortgage payment.
