    Is it possible?

    I have an older trophy 14.5x26 prop that worked well on my XTB, but when I put on a sport master fat shaft gear case it did not fit the fat shaft. It is not a flo torque hub type, Can this prop be converted to work with a fat shaft? Thanks.

    Hi, this is the only part that I don't know what to do. How would you go about it and how much as a ball park figure should I expect to pay? My hometown (Heber) is similar in distance to anywhere in TN as Salt Lake City. I have never bought a used boat out of state before. Looking for some...
