I purchased a prop from iboats.com. After 3 days of fishing and the first day of a national tournament the hub spun out. Did not hit anything. Called iboats and they said I should just toss it and buy a new $380.00 prop that it was not repairable.
What a joke. This will be the last time I visit iboats.com
Just wanted all of you to know.

I have a 25M 3 blade that has a small nick in one blade,came off a 200 Mercury EFI.
I had the same thing happen on Cumberland and had to use my trolling motor for 3 hours to get back to the ramp, I said I'd never go back on the water without a spare. This was my spare.
I'd take $200 for it.
I live in Shelby Co. and work in Louisville. Let me know if you'd be interested.
What kind of motor do you have?
Heard you live in Shelby County can you email me at [email][email protected][/email]
That's why you need to buy all the products you use from dealers. You may save a few bucks online, but that's because they never have to see you. I can tell you that if that were from our store I would have fought hard to get you what you wanted, that's the difference between a local dealer and some website from who knows where.

Matt hit the point on the head. If I'm buying something important for my boat, no doubt I'm going to my local dealer. If something goes wrong, a good dealer will help you get it resolved. Saving a few dollars now can mean big headaches down the road!
Hey Guys,
We all want the best deal on our boat. Heck, truth be told, most of us want them to sell it to us below cost. Reality is that they have to make money on us. We as consumers then need to also show some loyalty to our dealers.
Let me give you an example. I bought something for my boat from my dealer. It cost around $50. Rodney told me, hey you can save a lot of money if you buy that online. Guess what, this was of course while I was still working, I replied that they gave me a great deal on my boat, and I promised I would show loyalty to them as I bought future items. Guys, we have a vested interest that our dealers stay in business. Now my dealer did discount my part from what the sticker was, but it still wasn't as cheap as say basspro.com. However, when I need my boat fixed, basspro.com sure isn't going to do my motor work. In fact, and I've told this story before, but I needed some work done for a weekend tournament. It so happened that the FLW guys were there for an upcoming tourney and my dealer had a contract to give them priority. Yet Mike got my boat in and fixed for me.
These are examples of why you want to deal with you dealer. Matt has shown on here that if you buy from him, he will take care of you.
OK, here's my soap box back... LOL
BTW, my dealer is Jet-A-Marine.
