In the process of transferring the registration from PA to VA, I am about 95% sure my Rich Line is a 1964 Challenger instead of a Model 15. PA had the boat length on the title as 16’ which my friend said was wrong. Comparing all the actual measurements to the 1964 Rich Line brochure, the gunwale...

I bought my friends Rich Line Model 15 (14’) this summer which had been stored outside, uncovered. It was crawling with the large black ants. I used two of the Terro ant baits under each seat (3). It took a couple of weeks because I had to remove the baits to move the boat to my storage...

Seems like using a 2” diameter bristle (Roloc) wheel would take forever to cover a 14’ boat. I also see the you can get round Scotch Bright pads in different grit for a disc grinder.

My friend went with composite when he redid his transom. Seemed to work well.

Would you please take a couple of measurements? The base length of the whole logo and slant heights of the capital R and L. Might have aluminum replacements made.

Not the real thing but might be cool.

My 8.375x6 3 blade prop is pretty beat up on my 1994 Force 9.9hp. All my WWW searches are coming up negative. Looking for any of the following: P715 8.375x6x3 48-FP6430 8x8.25x3 (plastic?) 48-FP286-3 8.25x8.25x2 48-FP6477 8x9.25x3 FP472 8x9x3

I ordered that Amazon Suzuki prop. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Would I be crazy to try a Suzuki 7.5x7 3 blade for a DF6 when the stock props are 8 or 8.375? No shear pin so I’d have to come up with spacers and retainers. Are all 10 spline the same shaft diameter? For $30 on Amazon and is returnable I may give it a go.

Are props two piece? Sure looks like the center might be pressed in.

With as rare as these Force 9.9 props are, I am really surprised some enterprising mechanic hasn't come up with a solution to modify a 10 spline prop from another MFG. to fit.

I’m sure having a hard time finding a match. TOHATSU PROP 4/5/6HP, 8.375" DIA X 6" PITCH (ELEPHANT EAR) WTF elephant ear???

I’m new to all this but propellers look really confusing. Mine is marked 8 3/8x6. Still looking to see what came stock. Looks like there are as many options as beers.

Can a propeller be reshaped and then balanced to get a little more life out of it?
