We dont know where you are located, but the easiest thing will be having them cut and welded up locally. What size are your boats propeller/s? Usually they are 3-4" larger diameter than your props, since the props go inside of the front. The type of transom also dictates how they will hinge down. A full transom is easiest.

Yeah sorry about that lacking info. I guess I just had Treasure Coast in my head and forgot to write it figuring that's where most of the action is with the guys here either 1715 or Jupiter.

Looks like my kitchen pass is getting approved :laughing9:so time to start checking into things...

There used to be a place/guy who made beach scoops and I think blowers too, and he was at Wabasso on the mainland right where the road from the beach joins the hiway on the mainland. He was at the railroad tracks, East of the intersection.

Yeah, they did some detector work for me back when I was sub-c'ing. Ran by a father and son, really nice guys helped us out alot. I'll have to check old notes or ask Dave, he'll remember.

Ed Mathews of Treasure Coast Scoops also builds blowers but they are expensive. Port St. Lucie Machine & Welding builds them for all the pros.

Ahh yeah that's who Stevemc was talking about. We did some things with Harold and Ed back when. Real convenient when you’re running log sheets up to MFC from Ft Pierce.
We had ours made up in Ft. Pierce back then but trying to find some more sources from the pros here.
It never hurts to have options. :wink:
