Been waiting on this thing to come for about a month and a half. My 5500hd mud buddy finally came today and man is it sweet and does she scream!! Just need some weight in the front end and its time to invest in some pods!
I don't know if I'd put pods on ur rig just yet. Move some weight up front and see how that goes before u spend the money on the pods. Weight displacement is key with that setup.
Nice rig tho! I'll be de-tuning my 7000 to a 5500 after season. I'd rather have hole shot than top speed. Congrats on the rig! She'll get the job done!
Back when I was 19-20 I use to have to put in lots of hour just to afford rent, car payments, insurance, alcohol, and smokes. I could not have imagined going around 20 grand in the hole on a duck boat. Hell I'm 36 now and still couldn't imagine it. You must be doing pretty good.
Should be able to see Dia. and Pitch markings behind the shaft nut. I think I saw where the Hammer measured 12.75 Dia. By 11 pitch. The Big Blade is 12.25 X 10P. If your motor can hit the rev limiter or 4000rpm and above you can probably run the Hammer Prop, I can run it on my motor, but My boat is only 320 Lbs. Any heavier boat or wider bottomed boat may have a problem turning it. Really hard to beat the Big Blade for all around use.
Got to run it quite a bit yesterday. With 3 guys 2 dogs (one weighing 125) 3 full decoys bags and the rest of the gear it ran 27 on gps. I was pretty impressed.
Hey
you were complaining about high school last year and look what you have going now!
Nice outfit! get yourself a wire welder with a spool gun some Argon gas and weld up a aluminum blind.

The dealership gets paid to do warranty work from the manufacture and gets reimbursed for the parts.
Every serviceable part has time associated with it. That time is converted to $. So basically the manufacture says a trim unit should take 1 hour to replace at $100 shop rate. So they reimburse the dealership $100 and the cost of the part. So sold their or not should not matter.
Its sounds to me like they got paid twice for doing one job.
