We need more RV's and the general public to buy more specialty marine products to hopefully drive competition and more reasonable prices. Recently I have been shopping for a stern rail motor mount for my oddly spaced 1 1/4 inch stern rail. The only one I can find that will work is the Edson which costs $335.10 for a bit of board, a bit of metal, a cleat and some brackets. Now if every RV and every Toyota Corolla rolling down the road would mount an out board on the back of their vehicle my bet is I could then buy it for $29.95 ..... Giving up on that thinking of how to build my own mount - I decided to redo the leather covers on my two Edson wheels. Sounded like a great winter project to do with a beer in my hand while watching Ohio State beat Notre Dame. SOOOO kits turn out to be $255 per wheel. which comes to $510 and that's doing the sewing myself. Huh think I'll buy some parachute cord or again if every RV and Toyota Corolla would step up and wrap their wheel in leather I might be able to get the kits for $9.95 each (plus tax, shipping and handling of course).
Anyway enough about me what marine prices have shocked you the most ?????
