Just venting some frustration here but iboats is selling a large selection of Ballistic props at a Price 40% lower than they normally sell for....Yea, I know, they're the "old" attwood Ballistics but I lost 2 sales over this because it's 50-70 bucks cheaper than we buy them for at so-called "Dealer price". Michigan wheel will not stand behind the attwood series, and nobody is ever given THAT info........Anyway...I hope they all sell quick and get torn up quick so everybody else in the buis. can continue on...<br />OK, now I feel better, so lets go have fun.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hey there, Catfish! Had net proplems-switched to new provider.....Yea, I found a prop but it's a used one and it's got some dings, so it would have to go to prop shop, but I think we'd have too much in it repair-wise to be economical.......I was thinking I'd have one for ya, but I guess not for now. I WILL keep my eyes open for another one...Keep me posted if you find what you're looking for!!!! :D :D

Re: Under-priced props!!!!!

thats what i'm looking for(used) i need something to fit my budget. dings ok, i can straighten dings, the nice thing about stainless is you can simply keep the hub cool with a wet rag while welding the blades, and stainless is easy to weld. so does this prop have a spun hub or has it been trimmed down? <br />i'll tell you what i have:<br />a 11 3/4x17 aluminum that has a chunk out of one blade, i took two peices of aluminum flashing and jb welded them on the blade. it looks good, but it will break if i hit anything.<br />i also have two 12 1/4x15's that are under pitched for my boat, so they are just emergency props.<br />heres my boat.<br /><br />

Ralph, as I said, these are the old attwood ballistics, and iboats.com is a great place with some great deals. Attwood sold out to MWC quite some time ago, and had I known they (Attwood) had props laying around for this long, I too, would have tried to purchase some of them.<br /> This particular situation hurts Michigan wheel corp. as well....so much for supporting the people that support us.. :rolleyes:
