Prop House




Two customers in a row came in the store a week ago asking to buy the biggest prop we had. The first was about 36" in diameter off of a fishing boat for $795, and the second was a brand new 4 blade off of a Cabo for $695.... They could hardly get their wallets out fast enough when I asked what kind of boats they were putting these big props on. They laughed and said these were going in their living rooms.

Apparently a furniture store in Los Angeles is selling a coffee table for $4,500 and these guys thought they's make their own for a fraction of the cost. You can do the same.

Teak cockpit tables ...


We still have a nice selection of our popular teak grating, fold-up cockpit tables. These tables are ideal for small boats. I used mine all last week and then put it in a locker before setting sail. Big box stores carry a similar item for $200.00 plus. We cut a tough deal with our importer and are helping to keep boating affordable by pricing them at $99.00. I varnished mine with a brush and admit it was a bit tedious coating all the little teak squares and cut-outs. A customer watching me work suggested I use spray varnish. What a great idea. If you don't varnish or at least apply teak oil, the teak will stain as you use it. One hundred left at the $99.00 price. Tops are square, round or six sided. Any skipper worth his salt would love one of these for Christmas.....
