Can you still store the table under the seat when not in use?
Yes, it fits under my rear seat.

I only use the table when anchored or beached.

The 2nd time I towed our "new to us" boat, I left the table up (as most newbies would be inclined to do). I got lucky and just happen to be looking out my side mirror when I see our table top bouncing down the highway. It took me close to a mile to finally decide I should stop and get it (figuring the replacement cost would be pretty high). So I pull over and start jogging (as close to it as a 280lb man can do) back to the table top that had come to rest on the inside lane of the highway. Of course all the drivers coming toward me were being considerate and would move over to the inside lane since I was running up the shoulder -- thank goodness not a single vehicle hit the table top. When I got back to it, it had only suffered minor scratches from the bouncing down the highway. It is now stored under the seat. In fact we rarely even use it since it just blocks the way being one of those kidney-shaped tables. We use a folding table most of the time now when we have lunch on the boat.

I knew it!

BTW, you mentioned this propeller shop in a different thread as being good. I'm looking for a spear and consider contacting those guys. http://www.wilmingtonpropeller.com/services.html

Yes. They are awesome! Many So Cal boat repair shops send their props down there. Avoid the middle man and bring it there yourself.

I bought some used Duo Prop Volvos and brought them down there and they were able to tell that the previous repair shop messed up and the pitch on each blade differed from each other.

If you are looking for a new prop, I bought a brand new Merc prop on eBay. There are some dealers that sell pretty reasonably on there.
