Spare VLX prop in San Diego?

Taking another houseboat trip to Shasta soon, and am looking for a spare prop to take along. My spare is pretty banged up. Just looking for one to take along "just in case", so I don't get stranded somewhere. I am sure I won't need to use it. If I break it, I will buy it

Please let me know if you have one I may be able to borrow.

Thanks, Buzz

Buzz, I can hook you up. You'll just have to wax my boat! :-)

Shoot me an email.

Well, the year before last, there was quite a bit of debris in the water. One of the other boats in our crew tore his up. Last year I damaged mine. Just good insurance anyway.

Thanks Dave. I will call you tomorrow.

If you don't end up buying one local, one of the best prop shops in the world is in Redding...look up Phil's Propellors. He can probably set you up with a new or remanufactured unit.

Buzz - are you running a 537?

Buzz, Try San Diego propellers, Eddie is a great guy and his prices are smoking. I bought a prop from him for my Mastercraft back in the day, when I bought the new boat he let me take it back and gave me a full refund since I never used it.
