    Aluminum to Stainless prop ?. Same specs?

    I am very happy with the performance of my aluminum prop. My boat plains out like its tale is on fire and has a steady 100 RPM per MPH ratio once on plain. I have an opportunity to replace the prop with stainless at little or no charge to me. If I get the same diameter and pitch can I expect...

    Cooler for my 186 Senza ...

    I did not like how the small 25 qt igloo fitted with so mush extra room under my rear seat. So, I bought a 36 qt and removed its handles ..... it fit like a glove side to side and top to bottom, with a couple of inches front to back. No handles is a small price for a perfect fit. Eight years...
