Darin just labbed two props for me, a Mirage plus & a Bravo 1. It was the best work i've seen anywhere. I sent in 2 more props fri. Great people, fast professional service, can't be beat. Hope this helps.

I just overnighted a prop for the race boat, I will post the results after testing. The prop blows out during acceleration, Darrin says he can fix it.

Yes!!! and Yes!!!

Darin reworked a prop for me last winter. I have never heard a bad word spoken about him.
If there is a problem, he will take care of it.

Prop

With the race comming up next week in Alabama I was a little apprehensive about sending our best prop out. After talking to Darin he assured me it would be shipped back the same day he recieved it so I sent the prop out next day. Darin called when he got it to get details on what the prop was doing (excessive slip in the mid range). We got the prop and tested this morning, the results are more than impressive. We picked up an honest two mph and the prop accelerates like never before. You can't get much better than that for service. Also the slip went down at wot. Thanks Darin!!!!

P.S. you forgot to send stickers
