"It's not a boat you've built till you've sworn at it, sweated over it, bled on it, cried beside it then threatened to haul the POS outside and burn it!"

--Rick Laporte

June 2013

Propeller shrouds were first added to canal boats to prevent erosion of the banks but the boat owners were delighted to learn that they had more power for hauling cargo. Our shroud will not only increase power for hauling cargo and towing, but it will protect our painstakingly cast custom propeller blades, as well as marine life.
