Wayne, Do you have a prop guy around here? I think mine needs a tune
up. Burress was suggested but I also heard they will be sending it to
Sarasota.

There are only two choices in CC that I'm aware of, Coastal Prop and
Burris. I've used both in the past for I/O props and they are OK.

We got the props balanced on the big boat last spring when it was
hauled out for bottom painting. Owl Creek Boat Works did the job but
I'm not sure if they sent them out or not. Great job in any case. The
boat had never been smoother running when we got it back. They might
tell you who they use if you give them a call. Butch Fulton is the
owner/manager and his shop foreman is Cliff.

I guess I wall call around and see what I can find out. If they all
are sending them out I may see if they will broker the deal and let me
ship it directly. I really do not want to drive to the Cape or East Ft
Myers. It will be faster too.

I have a plastic "emergency" prop coming so I will not be boatless.

Are "regular" props for middle range outboards so expensive that you
don't have one? Surely, there must be good used stainless props around
for $150 or less. My boating buddies in NE Florida who fish the ICW and
its creeks usually have a spare prop aboard because of the shell banks
they hit frequently.
