    I believe they retired and I think Ron Hill was making his props for them. He bought the rights to his molds and now sells them. Signature props or Hill Marine

    There is nothing to indicate any change of hands on their website or Facebook page

    There is/was? another shop called Performance Propeller in the mid west I think. Maybe that's who retired?

    There's also a Performance Propeller of Nashville, but the one I was referring to was the one in:
    Performance Propeller
    8365 Dayton Pike Soddy-Daisy, TN 37379

    There F/B page has been dead since 2020. There is basically no web page on them anymore other than map pages, yelp, etc. I'll ask Ron (Hill) if he's the new owner of the rights to manufacture.

    Hill has been casting those for years previous to him selling them directly. Great Props for the price IMO..

    That was “THE” Performance Propeller.

    I had one of their Yammi drags and it was the baddest drag and all around prop I ever ran.

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

    I spoke to Ron Hill and "YES", Ron is making the Drag Props now.
    And yes, I was referring to "THE" Performance Propeller of Soddy Daisy TN.
    And "YES" again to that they were the baddest prop on the water !

    Thanks all............
