Well, that's actually a bargain compared to prop prices! lol. Crazy, just got this new wheel after months of waiting, and for about double the price.Irony: the impeller was $250ish off the shelf, closer to $400 after custom pitching, shipping and handling, but the wrench (actually a socket) is free.

It doesn't fit my jet boat pump, but I couldn't be happier.
This should help my F300 on some rougher offshore days.

I must say though, as much as I love the new Parker, and it's ocean going capabilities, riding the AR240 is just pure pleasure by comparison. Everytime we go to the lake, I just smile, love riding the YJB, I can do it all day long and not get enough. It's like riding a go-kart vs a U-haul truck, lol.

@zipper , holy S! $3k +, did you at least get a free wrench with the prop or was it a no lube deal?
i remember seeing a story on the Gieco hydroplane boat, when the tech came out to install the props and he stated that each were $15k.
If this was a spending competition I would proudly say I’m in last place.
Well for only three grand what did you expect!Yes, the prop. came with it's own tool kit for changing the pitch and rotation as well as a grease gun. We ordered a LH rotation prop. and was sent a RH rotation prop. I had to dig into the prop and change it on day two after the install. The boat went aft when I throttled forward, had to do another short haul to fix it. It was easy, but still a PITA. I was not happy that day.
My stepdad does this for a pretty big company. If you ever want to move for FL, hit me up I can connect you to the company.
