    I hate to hear that , such gud talent go to waste , well hopefully mark will send sum paper work with it idk. prob be here mon I've got a decent prop shop local , performance propeller I'll use them next , I really dont want to give mark hell but there was a serious communication issue , I printed out a work order and put it with the prop to , I dont see how someone starts whoppin on a prop without talkin to the owner 1st or maybe hes overwhelmed

    I have props that need minor repair and have no one to take them to. Shipping is a pia. Results vary it seems. When I worked at a dealership that had a small prop shop, we had a 17 yr old kid that was a prop wizard. Amazing work.

    He did a excellent job on this prop. I knew it had little vibration to at idle speeds also. Now it's just as smooth, I was able to raise my plate and stay hooked up and keep bowlift , he also added stern lift to, boat finally feels "light" , slip went down ,mph went up ,plenty lift. couldn't be happier with the prop now. It drives like a completely diff boat,, I can finally leave this boat alone now and get back to work on the cmate

    So a Trophy and a good prop guy was recommended to you. Did this solve the need to add setback?
    What was the final pitch your running
    Does it lift and hold your boat sooner
    What's your top speed now

    Havent done wot run yet. I did surpasse the previous speed , I will get a wot # tho. the wife is out with me and will not go over 50 lol. It gets on pad alot sooner ,and holds it great. Inky reason I havent increased set back is I gott get hydraulic or cables but the prop made up for it flies nose perfect and stern lifting great now. It would prob have to much lift for a speed (light) hull. I'll get more # when I get go without wife. Sunday is our "her" cruise day
