Giving a Bezoat a Second Chance

[Albert]

Good write up, happy that the prop has returned to its home and native land.

I didn’t mention who the prop came from but I do feel I was given a “new racer discount”.
If that person wants to speak up they are welcome to.
If not they should know I’m quite excited to try it.

Go to ‘Boat Racing Facts.com.... and search’Part 9: Ron France’.

Ron is from Canada.... and was a very good boat racer.... Mainly running A Stock Hydro when the Mercury KG4 was the motor for the class. He built all his own boats, motors and props.

Cool.... France is good no doubt about it.

Tell me about France props, can’t find much online. Who made or makes them and where ?

[DeanFHobart]

Was told it was a France it does have an “F” stamped into the hub.

I saw a picture of the makers mark, F with a circle around it, definitely a France wheel.

Nice looking propeller....... who made it?

One more piece of the puzzle showed up in the mail. Baby steps in the right direction.

All I was going to put under the clear was the name.
But that ship has sailed now, it will be over the clear with the numbers.

I would not clear coat any graphics that you put on the boat, things change sometimes. It will be easy to pull off any vinyl that you want to change.

104 before I started paint. Will weigh it again once all hardware is on. No doubt picked up a few pounds in paint and clear. But just look at it. I'm pretty pleased it got a little splash of colour.

It looks great beautiful finish. Lets see it running on the water. Would like to know weight, I use bathroom scale at each end and add weights. On pickle I place front scale where your front hand grip oval is. Boat should be level.

Thank you.
