Not all new props come so nicely wrapped!
Ted was sure that an insulated prop was required for winterizing his vessel.
Bob has had to seriously redesign his new “prop-0-matic” clothes washing system.
FOUL!
It was nicely wrapped until the cat found it.
There is a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?
Wrap it up – I’ll take it!
Dang… next time I’ll put the tranny in neutral when I mask off the prop.
Damn, I was sure I didn’t ,But I guess this proves I did hit the leeward inflatable !
Honestly officer, I’m not sure what happened, my dinghy was right here behind my boat when I threw her into hard astern and whoosh!

Ferrying Elephants? Here’s a macerator pump made for you

Call the sailmaker. That kite is still under warranty.
Well … I think we’re going about this whole shrimping thing all wrong …
World’s biggest paper shredder.
Bagged the limit.
In an attempt to keep their top secret propeller design out of view from a competing racers, owners failed to notice the watchdog had a thing for shredding plastic bags.
I was wondering where that Code 0 went.
Honey, I TOLD you it woundn’t work as a composted!
Uh oh. We forgot about the prop when we keel hauled Joe.
Development continues with “Prop Cleaner 2.0)
Has anyone seen that plastic bag with all the charts in it?
