They Just Fade Away Hundreds of thousands of 17’ to 23’ (5-7 m) sterndrive boats with GM 3.0L 120-hp to 150-hp 4-cyl. engines were built by over a dozen brands for 30 years – and most were underpowered. Today, they are too valuable to throw away, but nearly impossible to repower at any price. The solution to keep them from “fading away” is to re-prop them with Sharrow props: quicker hole shot, faster planning, greater load carrying ability.
