Sweet.................

Now if I knew what they are :hide:

[waybomb]

They are stanless steel racing props. Very expensive when new. I've been watching ebay for a long time to nab some spares. If I screwed up one of mine, I'd have to pay thousands to fix or replace, plus I'd be without a bought for a long time.
They cost new in the $3,000 each range. Here's what the ones on my boat look like:

Damn. Those 31" pitch props look wicked. I knew you had 3 props so I wondered what you'd do with two. Spares. I see.
GREAT find!!!!!!!!!! I need more time to spend on ebay. :hide: :D

eBay is the best place to buy new stuff and to buy good used hard parts. For my current rebuild, I've purchased 4 brand new raw water pumps, each under 100 bucks each, 4 V6-14 TBolt modules, each under 100 bucks, 3 new tbolt distributors, each less than 95, a complete case of AR133 plugs at less than a buck each, OEM wire sets at 25 bucks each, GM EOS at less than 10 bucks a bottle, etc, etc.

My last boat was a 42 Carver aft cabin. I bought spare props for it too. Brand new Nibrals for 95 bucks each. And most of the new electronics for it as well.

I'd rather buy spares that I can sell later than to get to the point where I must buy at retail.

I never looked for auto or boat parts on ebay. Duh.


So with your turbo charged motors your run OEM plug wires?

[waybomb]

Doc, supercharged, not turbo charged. Supercharged are driven mechanically, turbocharged uses exhaust gas as the motive force.

Yes, stock ignition, except with a V6 module, so I get less distributor advance. Stock wires. And I use Autolite AR133 plugs. I do run MSD rev limiters.

I only run 5 pounds of boost. If I was running high boost, I may switch to an aftermarket multiple discharge spark.
