best prop boxes ever !!
I decided that I needed some new prop boxes and after a bunch of searching and debating about building my own I came across these! Great price for a well built product!

I cannot get my head around paying that much for simple plastic box to hold a prop.

Best cases I have ever bought!!!! Be sure when shopping for these they are original Chicago Case Co boxes and not the paper thin Chinese knock offs! You will not be disappointed.

My props are either on the wall in my garage, on my boat, or transported on the floor of my truck wrapped in a towel. Not sure I'd have use for something this heavy duty

Yeah a lot of $$$ but a fraction of what I have in some of my props. I went to Home Depot bought a rolling, locking plastic storage box 3 treaded rods 2 for props 1 for thrust washers, lock rings, nuts. I can carry 4 props hardware and prop wrench for about $100.00. It's to big for stowing on boat but works well for me.

I know the price seems much when a card board prop box czn be had for about free. I struggled with that my self. These have the proper support in the bottoms and are solid. The also have a really nice latching system and are lockable. I felt it was worth the money to protect the props since the really good ones these days cost a fortune!

I can see these for maybe a $2500 prop but seems a bit much for a $500 prop..

Hi guys. The link Todd posted is to my website and Im pretty sure I have the BEST price on these. They are original Chicago Case boxes. These are the exact same box sold by Bblades for a lot more.
They are VERY nice and when you consider what we invest in a propeller and subsequent propeller work, I think they are a great value.
I have a drop ship deal worked out with Chicago Case which helps me keep my price down and your cost as well.

The last owner of Chicago Case, "Magnum Mark", was a long time performance boater, hence the reason the even made these. He sponsored our team for many years and was a great help to us. He now owns Mr Marine in Wisconsin, I believe.

Not only protecting the prop but the boat they ride in . You DO carry a SPARE prop right ????

They are great for storage of your props but its the best protection for shipping your propellers back and forth to your performance propeller shop.
