He didnt have to do that, he could have backed out and said sorry, but he didn't and within the next week he shipped me my MTI with alot of phone calls wondering wheres the boat now. lol
Got a chance to swing in TAPS on Sat night....love the place, staff, and the selections.

Just wanted to comment on such a nice place you have and run.

The boat looks great before and after.

Why would anyone tow the boat with the props on it? Especially in those weather conditions?

Why not? I mean you dont plan on having a wreck. they re secure, and not moving around and should be fine.

Props are fragile. Rocks from trailer tires or any number of things can ping them. At $5,000 to $25,000 each, it's not worth the risk IMHO.

A kid or thief at a fuel stop can walk up to check them out and slice his hand open. The surface props are razor sharp.

Just an observation. Beautiful boat.
