Demand and maybe an increase in aluminum costs. My pod 5 years ago was $2800. Same one today from same person is $5kHow does a company justify a $2500 increase in that short of a timeframe?

losing money previously, adding 20% for inflation and adding 10% hopefully for profit. it has happened in so many industries.How does a company justify a $2500 increase in that short of a timeframe?
if you have the the smaller 4 bladed? get into some 3 blade with more bite.That is a good thought and in the back of my mind. It is the cheap potential solution for sure. Way cheaper than playing with props, haha. It's just kinda patchwork and bothers me for some reason. Pod cost jumped $2500 since the quote given to me two months ago so I am more likely to try the foils out at this point.
That would make the original quote for the pod roughly $8500. I guess I’m in the wrong business.losing money previously, adding 20% for inflation and adding 10% hopefully for profit. it has happened in so many industries.
Business has changed ownership. 25% hourly rate increase and the new owner said the old owner was underestimating jobs.How does a company justify a $2500 increase in that short of a timeframe?
Think they are 14.25 dia. So yes, not huge. I will try some rev 4s and ecos with some different loads and find out how she does.if you have the the smaller 4 bladed? get into some 3 blade with more bite.
Pre conquest hull.Beamy looking, is it a Conquest 275? Nice looking hull.
I don't remember one in Tuff. I'll go for a dock walk when I'm at rpm later in the month. Thanks for that.Might be worth a drive up for a bs session and look if Chris B still has the same boat at Tofino Swell.
