hey guys. the old
furler that came with my
boat is shot so it's time for a replacement.this
furler will be going on my 1970 hinckley 38. much as I like the
harken MKIV it's just not in my
budget so the units I'm looking at are:
harken ESP furler: fairly new on the market from what I understand. I like harken quality but I'm a little wary of a "budget" furler, even from harken.
Facnor LX-165: never used them personally but my understanding is that they're very good quality.
profurl C-350: again, never used them personally but I'm told they're good quality. though not quite at the same par as the facnor and harken,
price point is attractive however. the green annodizing is like nails on the chalkboard to me..
the harken and the facnor are within $100 of each other in
price, which the profurl is several hundred dollars cheaper. any thoughts on these guys.
