Good decision! Asking about props is almost like asking about
anchors. Lots of opinions. I'm no expert. The option offered on my
boat was a 2 blade Martec. After 29 years it is going strong. I'm sure
others swear by flexofold. Not sure if there is any objective testing
done to compare props.
Bob,
I chose soda blasting this spring and never regretted it. The surface that
was left was almost spotless and ready to paint (after a couple of wipe

Having comfortable PFDs will go a long way towards making people wear them.
If they are difficult to put on and uncomfortable to wear, they will get

race where they were required. I wore a cheap orange one aroun
Oh, that is what it was. I was approaching Kent Narrows from the north

It's a boat. It's the water. You pays your money and you takes your
chances.
If you don't wear a PFD that's your personal choice,
and your life is your personal responsibility.

I wear mine because the boat puts both dogs, my wife, and my son right to sleep.

Sorry to hear of yet another boating fatality.
We had a couple more here on Lake Erie and Lake Huron this weekend.
None of the bodies recovered so far this year were wearing PFDs.
They are worn on my boat.

Isaac's remnants hit about 30 seconds after I dropped the mooring line in
Annapolis to head home. We got 30+ knots and it pissed down rain. Apparently we
have a fatality too :( There was a MOB and from the radio chatter no one had
