[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 438793, member: 18942"] Yeah it's spendy. But if it never breaks, doesn't hurt your performance the way the rock proof one does, if it takes a hit that an aluminum one wouldn't, and you get to keep trucking saving a fishing trip seems worth it. I fish as much as I can, but I don't care for a trip, outing, or one day get ruined by a busted intake. Granted I've never broken an aluminum foot, but if it were to save my butt from ruining one good day due to a busted intake, that is all it would take for it to be worth to me at least. I throw my UHMW one on if I go some place new and unfamiliar, or places that I know are rock filled so I don't bust my aluminum one, I use the aluminum mostly since it runs faster. Looks like this one wouldn't cause any speed loss doesn't look like it would have anymore drag than an aluminum one. If you ever changed motors it could go on the next one assuming it still uses the same size intake, so you don't lose it even if you sell your rig for a different one. I do agree it is expensive and I wish it were cheaper, but I do want one. [/QUOTE]
