The conversation with them was best described as non-productive and of all the dealers I spoke to they were by far the worst. I won't waste my time there again. Hey it is what it is.

That's unfortunate Maxum. I have never dealt with their sales department only their service department many times over the years who as I have said has been great on numerous occasions!

I had the same issue as you when I was searching for my wife's boat a couple years ago. A very well known and respected marina in the northern section of the lake made us feel like we were bothering them. Guess they didn't realize we were ready to buy that day and had cash with us! Made the sale somewhere else that afternoon and couldn't be happier!

It really is.

As a general observation I've dealt with a couple dealers for parts or just asking questions regarding a problem I was having and have never been disappointed.

Making a large purchase it a big decision and it makes all the difference to have a sales person to interface with that gets it. Too many don't!

has a fairly large stock of aluminum and SS props. They aren't priced too bad but you do pay for the convenience!

Almost all marinas have used and consigned props. Call around! You may be able to fond a used one at reasonable price!

I realize it may be to late for this weekend, but I would consider a 4 blade aluminum prop. I bought a Turning Point Hustler off of Amazon for like 100.00, and I love it. I now keep the 3 blade SS prop for a back up. The 4 blade gets up on plane faster, more economical on fuel, cheaper to replace, and I have not lost any top end. The hub is sold separately, and is another 35, 40 bucks. Well worth it to me. It's not a question of IF you hit something, it's when...

While on the subject of propellers, where is the best place to send them to for minor repairs these days.

Would like to get something touched up that is not club-ed over and bent. Just some light clean up on the edges, no mods to the pitch or anything like that.

Would probably want to do it during off season. Any suggestions

You can drop it off at just about any marina. Prop repair places drop off and pick up weekly, or bi-weekly (from most marina's) depending on location, in the summer months. Probably pick up/drop off monthly in the off season. Just talk to your local marina.
