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.

Not sure what the point of this post actually is...
(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" ?

I was wondering the same thing.

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.

I just purchased a new 13 1/4 X 17 pith stainless Apollo prop for my boat
and it only cost approx. 240.00 with a new hub kit.

Your post just highlights your lack of experience.

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. :)

Actually, a SS prop does a pretty good job of it. That's why it lasted
*that* long before getting really out-there.

So what kind of boating do you do (and where) that
gets you into rocks/gravel/sand etc.anyhow? I'm
assuming that you come to shore a lot in shallow,
or non-dock areas ? (rivers, beaches etc?)
