Cool Prop Covers

[THATJEFFGUY]

OK, I just finished the first "CoolProp" propeller cover ! They're made of the same material my canopies are made of...urethane-backed canvas, with 1" foam to protect the sharp edges of the prop., and elastic cord for a tight fit. You can use em while towing to protect from rocks, or at the Sandbar so no one gets cut, or just to look cool ! They come in all sizes and colors, for $25 plus shipping. I'll also do custom screen printing on them for an extra $12. I'm gonna have some already made in different colors with some standard quotes...."Got River" "Remove 4 River"'River Rat"...any other ideas ??
AND...for all Hot Boat members, I'll throw in a free prop cover when you order a canopy from me...just tell me what colors you want !
Hey Waldo..you just placed your canopy order so I'll make you one too...is blue w/gray trim OK ?

[Laveyman]

Very nice idea!

[Havasu Cig]

I like them....
What about sewing some handles on them similar to the ones teague sells so they are easier to carry???

[superdave013]

I will buy one right now if you can make it for a two blade.

[Jrocket]

How do I order it?

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

If'n I had a prop, I'd get one! Very cool!
BTW, Do you make covers for dangerous mother-in-laws?:D

[Tom Brown]

They don't seem to protect the prop very well. That prop is ratty as shit. :(
Jeff, will you ship by post to Canada?

[Waldo]

Jeff, that sounds great and looks great as well!!! If it matters, my prop is 4-blade 22p. Thanks for all the design help. I look forward to getting my canopy.

[mirvin]

Hey Jeff, did you get a chance to take pictures of your bow and cockpit covers?
And, can you make them out of vinyl? Or is that stupid?

Howz about "donate blood here" or "watch your feet"
:D

[Tom Brown]

I didn't know you were a jetboater, ROZ. :cool:

[Blown 472]

You should sew some shit on them like spare tires covers on the back of motorhomes.:D :D :D

[HighRoller]

What about covers for a jet? That would be cool:D :D

[THATJEFFGUY]

Hey JRocket...and anyone else interested, to order one, just PM me with your prop size info, and what colors you want. I forgot I had a PayPal account, so that would probably be easier to use, let me know !!
Tom Brown...hey that's my best prop !! Nah that one was on it's way to the prop shop after the pics were taken. Good observation though ! And yeah, I'll ship to Canada..let me know what you want.
Waldo..the prop in the pic is a 4-blade also, so it'll fit !
Mirvin...Sorry I didn't get a chance to take pics yet...I will get on it this weekend though. I wouldn't suggest vinyl, it won't last as long as Sunbrella or other canvas materials made for the outdoor elements.
Blown 472, good idea !! Yours is on the way, I made it in black with a white WINNEBAGO logo stitched in the middle. :p
HighRoller....I thought of that but I don't know any jet boaters. Bring your jet boat down so I can get a measurement and you can have the prototype...deal ?

[riverbound]

What......no iron cross?

[Jrocket]

Check your pm's please.

[HighRoller]

Damn, if only I had a jetboat.....:rolleyes: What the hell was I thinking selling the boat and moving here....?

[Scream]

If your gonna ship to Canada, do you have to do it in French?:rolleyes:

[Jrocket]

My cover is now on order!:D

[THATJEFFGUY]

...bump...

[Dr. Eagle]

You know your competitor in this product puts in grommets so you can put a bicycle cable lock through it to keep it on the prop. I have two of them...
I think it was www.proppak.com but it was a couple of years ago...
Anyway that is a very nice feature... just food for thought if you don't already include that.

Would help to have lots of extra pading for v-drive boats with the prop underneath. Protect it from road debris.

[THATJEFFGUY]

OK, I've changed them a little...they now have handles on the back by the elastic cord so you can carry them if you remove your prop. I'll post some pics later.

[mike37]

that prop looks a littel F&^%T up shoulda had that cover
on it sooner

[CEO]

I will take one, please:D

You might want to be careful as the PropPak guys have a patent on their design.

Yeah you are right it does...
I didn't even know if it still existed when I put the URL down there, its been a couple of years since I bought them. But is is lame...

[superdave013]

Jeff, These are the props I run. I put the tape on the biggest one to give an idea of the size. The propshaft is 1 1/8"
I'll take one in black and if you want you can put some red piping or something like that on it.
Thanks! Oh, i'll post it on the v drive forums soon as I get it.
No rush for it.

How do these effect your top end????

I'll bring a set up this summer for you to test.:D

[Chase]

Sweet. Can you bring me a prop cover in orange with grey trim, and writing on saying "Chase this" I will pay you when you get here....

[OGShocker]

I need to order a few covers from Jeff. If you order it from him, give him the art I will be glad to bring it up. If I give him the art it might have a bran muffin on it.;)

[Chase]

Bran muffins are for Tom!!!

[OGShocker]

Are you sure?:D

[Chase]

YES!!
Anyways...What keeps these covers flat on the back, is there something rigid in there so these things don't stay in the nice shape they are in the picture.
What about the water that comes out of the leg...will these retain the water (I suppose if it is female) or will it drain. This brings up another question relating to my first one..... will the water effect the shape of the covers

[OGShocker]

They're made of the same material his canopies are made of...urethane-backed canvas, with 1" foam to protect the sharp edges of the prop.......

[Chase]

I see that, but what keeps them flat??

[OGShocker]

Chase,
I think it is the 1' of foam.
Check your PM's

[Chase]

OK....If I was manufacturing these units, I would place a piece of thin plastic (1/16" or so) between the fabric and the foam to ensure there is always a firm flat surface...especially if there is writing on there.

[Chase]

You are probably getting sick of repeating the first post in here aren't you. I am thinking you are somehow tied into this deal...:D :D

[THATJEFFGUY]

Nope, OGShocker isn't tied into my deal at all. But thanks "OG" for helping me out...it saves me alot of time !
Also, let me know on those canopies and prop covers when you get a chance.

[Chase]

What kind of delivery time is a customer looking at here??

[OGShocker]

I have my own troubles getting paid, I do not need to work with Jeff too...
I kept coming back to this thread to look for your notes, I guess this whole PM thing has you baffled...:D
I will be in Sask on July 2.

[Chase]

Hey the PM's don't have me baffled..I am just asking questions that other people may be wondering about

[Chase]

Don't make me come over there......:yuk: :D :D

[THATJEFFGUY]

Chase...
A prop cover WITH screen printing will ship in about 5-6 days...WITHOUT screen printing, about 1-2 days.

[Chase]

That is great...My people will talk to your people :cool: :wink: :D

Jeff, I've decided I don't need to see pictures of the cockpit & bow covers:D Just tell me how much it should cost and how you like to handle the job. I mean should I bring the boat to you or....?

You can pm me or just put it in the thread.

Jeff,check your pm. I need a prop cover,give me a call for arrangments. thanks.

[THATJEFFGUY]

Hey Mirv..check your PM's.
Shadow, no problem....we'll ship it out tomorrow !

[Tee]

Jeff, check your PM's

[THATJEFFGUY]

Tee...check YOUR pm's !
Some of you have PM'd me asking how these covers work, how they keep their shape, and what they look like when they're on...so here's some more pics.
For the members that have already received their prop covers, what do you think ??
Also, I've had alot of requests for prop covers with NFL team logos, so I'll be posting a pic of one for a <cough><cough> "Raider fan" (definitely not me!) I'm thinking a "USC" one would be cool though !!
Just PM me with what colors you want, your complete shipping address info and I'll e-mail you an invoice and ship em out in a day or so.

Hey, did anyone get their prop covers yet ?? Any input on them ???

[Nubbs]

What about the jet covers. Did you ever get them done? I want to see how they turned out.
Nubbs

[superdave013]

I got mine!
First off I would like to say dealing with Jeff was kick ass. He was very prompt with e-mails back and forth. Next thing I know he sends me a pic of the prop bags I ordered.
Mine are kinda odd balls and I'm kinda shocked Jeff even wanted to mess with it. I mean, just how many people are running a 2 blade prop these days?
Anyway they came out great from what he had to go by. I think my next ones I'll ask for a draw cord over the handles and ask for the back and ends to be padded as well.
My needs are a little different as my prop is under the boat. I want the padding on the back side to help with rock dings and that kind of stuff that comes from towing. Really you should remove a v drive prop before you tow it but well, you know how that goes after a long day at the lake.
Anyway here is a few pics of my bag.

[Sherpa]

did Jeff ever get paid for that custom awning he did-?
whatever happened to that whole dealio...?
--Sherpa

[THATJEFFGUY]

Yep I finally got paid - everything was straightened out !!

[Havasu Cig]

I bought 4 prop covers from Jeff. He was great to deal with, and he delivered them very quickly. You can't beat them for $25.00.

[Back To Havasu]

I am another very satisfied customer of Jeff's. My cover came in two days, fit perfectly, had handle straps for carrying the prop when it is off the boat, and was exactly the right color. Jeff, your product and service are terrific. Let me know if you can put a USC logo on one of those, so I can order one. Thanks...MIke

[shadow]

Jeff, I recieved my prop cover yesterday. Thanks for the prompt service. Anybody considering A prop cover,first hand experience,
Dam near same day service and a quality product. nice doin bussiness with you Jeff.

[burbanite]

Jeff,
a small hijack....expect a call within a few days from our brake supplier, he saw our (your) canopy at the Daytona race and asked for your info, I am forwarding it to him.

[THATJEFFGUY]

Hey, thanks for the "hijack" Steve ! I look forward to talking to and anyone else you send my way ! By the way, how's the canopy working out ? Ready for the 2nd one yet ?

Jeff,
Need more info on a canopy!!!!

[THATJEFFGUY]

Tee...you need a canopy ? Gimme a call ! 888.903.COOL
Mine are comparable to the "EZ-Up Eclipse II" model. These aren't the cheapo models at Sam's/Costco that you'll be replacing every summer though. Mine are made of t6 aluminum and steel legs and sliders....NO plastic parts !! Also, the waterproof, "urethane-backed canvas" tops come in a variety of colors, not just RED, WHITE, and BLUE...and will definitely outlast any EZ Up ! AND you can also bring em to my shop for frame or top repair IF they get damaged. I know EZ-Up's have been around awhile, but my canopies are better quality, custom built to order, and are MADE IN THE USA ! I'm sure several members here will tell you, I have an excellent product. The price for a basic (2) color canopy is:
8x8 - $299
10x10 - $399
10x15- $479
10x20 - $589
15x20 - $799
Here are the colors I have available:
RED / WHITE / BLACK / GRAY / SILVER / NAVY BLUE / ROYAL BLUE / YELLOW/ ORANGE/PURPLE/TEAL/GREEN
I specialize in custom graphics to match your boat, custom designs, or screen printing...we do it all ! Actualy, we're stitching one now for one of the HB forum members to match his boat graphics...I'll post a pic as soon as it's done. Call me for more info

[phuggit]

Jeff,
I got my cover and it looks great. I'm going to put it over my spare prop when we go to havazoo this weekend.
Thanx again.

[Tee]

Got my Prop cover and matching Spare Tire cover today....AWSOME job Jeff.
Will be ordering a matching canopy for use with the boat and my daughters Jr. Dragster soon....
Anybody on the fence with these covers?????? They are worth every penny and Jeff's Co. is STAND UP.....
Laters ----------- Tee

[wannajetboat]

Did you ever get dimensions for a Jet Cover? I am interested if you have.

[Pointerman]

Anyone have pics of a screen printed prop cover from Jeff? Dying to see what those look like. I might need one with the Baja logo on it.

[summerlove]

Originally posted by THATJEFFGUY

I got mine in with with the "Summer Love" logo on the front - it turned out better than I expected, and in fact, for $47 I thought it was a deal.
It will make leaving the spare in the boat much easier knowing it won't get destroyed or it won't destroy anything around it now.
Jeff, thanks again and I hope you received my check....
Now, what's the deal on the canopys? Are they like easy-ups or are they different? I have an easy up that I take along with me but it's heavy (and it's only 7x7) and bulky. What's the difference???

[THATJEFFGUY]

Hey I'm still working on the jet covers in between other projects. There are just so many different sizes and stuff so they'll be different. I'll let you know what we come up with.

[BarryMac]

Thanks THATJEFFGUY, I think one of those would look awesome hanging off the back of my boat as I tow it to and fro, do you need to get some measurements? Let me know, I will try and help out in any way.:)

Hey Jeff........did you get my PM?

Hey Jeff...where is my prop cover I have been waiting weeks for this thing??:D

[THATJEFFGUY]

Chase, you're kididng right ?? I sent that thing out 3 days after you ordered it...and I just got your MO a little over a week ago. Is shipping really that slow to Canada ??

Jeff - I don't think I ever got this #. I want to see if it fits in my onboard storage. Thanks!

[THATJEFFGUY]

Sorry Summerlove...an 8x8 is about 9" in diameter and about 58" in height..pretty much the same as a 10x10...did you want one to match your prop cover ?

No - I'll get one in red - but not right now. I do want the Summer Love name on it however....do you put it on all four sides?
Thanks, Rick

[THATJEFFGUY]

Yeah I can put "SUMMERLOVE" on either (1) side or all (4) sides.

[THATJEFFGUY]

..

[locogringo]

Had one of these also. I use it for when we are in the water so my little one doesn't get cut by it (labbed props are a little sharper!).
Had it two weekends, the 2nd weekend I had it, I forgot it was on, backed up and heard all this awful noise....I can attest that a prop will eat it up.
I'm going to need another one. But, is there a way to make one with molded plastic or something? The water that gets into the foam stays in there forever. Or is there a less water soluble material?

[THATJEFFGUY]

Hey Loco..when it gets wet, just take it off and stand on it for a sec and the water comes outta the foam. I do that all the time..no problems. And I'm sure molded plastic is possible, but more costly. Isn't it easier to just remember to remove it prior to starting ? :D

Yes I was kidding. I received it about 3 days after I sent my money order. I didn't want this post to be any kind of bad advertising for you, so I will post a couple pics here of your cover in use...
