Recently I was strolling down a dock in Fort Lauterdale FL. Not too many years ago I'd enjoy looking at all the different sailboats, now all there was was white belch fires, the cheapest one had to be a half a mil, more than half were over 50 feet, many were 75 or more, multi story, and had an array of antennas on them which probably cost more than we'd spend on a new version of our dream boat......

As I walked by a large, white and spotless, "sport fisherman" I couldn't help but notice the image below....wonder what that "screw"up cost him....

Probably a lot more than the props. I wonder about the shafts and the packing. Ouch!

I would be willing to bet it didn't cost them enough to learn a lesson!

That pic reminds me of the joke about the guy who goes into the store, walks up to the counter and says "I take a six-pack of beer and a case of props."
