Re: Folding Prop

Hi Mike - I just went the 1/2 mile down to Heart's Desire and back to measure because your 9' measurement didn't seem right for my F-30. It was time to check on her anyway. The distance between the front of the mast and the tab on top of the gun mount is right at 11 feet. (F-30s vary that much?) I o...
