Go take a tour of any local manufacturing plant. Things cost money to make. There's value added all across the supply chain. If you want cheaper buy Chinese. You will be disappointed with the quality. I've never really posted here but this one made me post ! Cheers

i tried searching and havnt come up with much but, i am looking to replace my prop on my 74 evinrude. i am sticking with the factory 13" dia, 19" pitch. On iboats.com they have several but some come with a hub kit that must be installed in order to install the new prop. is this something that needs to be professionally done or can i do this? i am looking at the QL Aluminum Propeller for Johnson, Evinrude 70 HP 3 Cyl. Pleasure (Thru Hub Exhaust & 13 Tooth Spline). Thanks, Matt

I backed the boat in and got in to start it. noticed the back of my boat was really low and water was pouring in through the engine area (dont know really how to explain it). I knew it wasnt the plug. i ran to the front of the boat to hop back in my truck and i stepped on the trailer tongue to avoid getting wet. The tongue rocked back and forth with the boat. then i realized i didnt take the back straps off that tied the back down. luckily nobody was around to see.

ive got an 06 3.0L 2wd Ranger Sport 5spd. I put on 31" bfg's and a limited slip diff in the rear. i also have a class 3 hitch on the rear. I pull a 16ft '74 ranger bass boat with minimal problems. Not sure the weight but its heavy. Stopping is a little delayed so you should drive carefully although i have 4 wheel abs (not sure if thats beneficial or not). With lake lanier so low, my rear tires are usually in the mud and thats where the l/s and bfg all terrains comes in handy. I would definitely buy one with a l/s. Going through aftermarket was a bit expensive and of course they messed up the abs system which was a hassle to get them to fix it. You definitely get some play with the 5spd though. with the drought in GA my trailer will sometimes fall off the back of the ramp and i need to gain momentum to get it back on.
