Keep Track of Rising Prices

I just purchased two Sherwood 26000K raw water impellers from Marine Pumps Direct out of California. Last year I paid $253.24 all in delivered to the house. This year......$303.79.

20% increase.

Wish my portfolio had done that well in 2022. When is enough going to be enough? This guy has the antithisis of the Midas Touch.

Yeah, I got a 15% raise last July and I am still behind. Who would've thought. I fell lucky that my stock portfolio is only down 5% thanks to the guy at US Bank that manages it. I have a small portfolio that I manage and it is down 10%.

My Mazda 6 can run on 87 but makes 15% more HP on 93. It tracks mileage, I don't. The car is much more responsive on 93 so I stick with that. It is much more fun to drive that way.
 
So, i got the bill for replacing the lower on my Bravo 1 due to leaking prop seal. Labor only. Already paid parts for a new SEI lower this is labor only….
Remove OD.
Attempted to remove prop seal, after 30 years too corroded to housing, will not come out.
Get new lower from SEI.
Split OD, inspect and verify all good with upper.
Mate upper to new lower.
Fill all fluids and install all new anodes.
Install OD on boat.
$2k.
Does that seem about right? I think thats high but maybe not.
Before you say, bellows, gimbal, cables, everything was replaced 1.5 years ago when i had Bravoitis.

That is way out of hand. It's only a couple hour job.

I don't know about a couple hour job. How long did he spend farting around with the corroded seal? Depending on rate, looks like he spent about 10 hours. Probably a bit slow in my book, but what you going to do. Hell it cost me $400 to have two props removed.

At the old labor rate or the new labor rate?
 
Before Covid these things were $2k

Those are the "Pro Kicker" model and "designed to be bolted to the boat". Seems that they are different from a transom clamp on model for a dink or small boat. Are you are comparing the same engines? Asking for a friend.
 
What happened to Lightstream ??? All of a sudden rates are up at least 2 points since I checked last week. :eek: And the posted rates for boats are now actually less than a new auto o_O

Well, Spring break starts this weekend. I am going to have to break these out.
Two weeks ago my daughters high school economic teacher told her gas prices would be coming down. The next week they went up $.20. This week another $.30. $3.69

I told my daughter to tell him I predict $4.00 a gallon

$3.13 in MD today. But all over the map from week or day to day. Never seen anything like it. Don’t care. Try buying ammo / supplies. Gas is nothing.
