One thing I will say is the work he has done in the past for me has been excellent. But if you can't get the props back it does no good. I'm thinking about renting a banner plane for the next Velocity race event about this guy instead of paying a lawyer to handle this problem. A little more enjoyment on my part.

I used him several years ago for a P5 Hydro. He had the prop for over 6 months. It took countless phone calls and many threats of excessive bodily injury to get it back. Oh, and when I did get it back, it was a POS. Eddie

Don't know the prop guy but I know Joe at Protec. He is a stand up guy,and if he says someone did him wrong,you can take that to the bank,someone did him wrong.

another reason to give your prop business to Matt and Julie at Throttle Up in St. Petersburg, FL. They are honest people that do really really excellent work. They did the props on my Concept and I really want them to do the 3 props for my 38 Fountain CC. They also do a lot of race teams props. Plus Throttle Up are supporters of Offshore Only.

Nope no suckazz, I have spent money with Throttle up before and every local guy and other know they are the best and most honest in the business. I will return to Throttle for prop work when and if I go that route again.
If other business in the marine industry and around Tampa ran there business and customer service like Throttle up and the local Fountain dealer Sports USA Marine they might get return customers.

I've been to a number of races with Mike over the years. Nice guy. I've seen some of his props and they performed really well.
That being said, he still owes me for a room in the Bahamas a few years ago.

Good luck getting anything out of him. I hope Mike's got his ears open. I want my props back. Let me rephrase that. I want my customers props back. I've had someone speak to Steve Step about this with no luck. I can't believe that people even want to be associated with that @#*% from halls props. I'm just trying to get the word out.
