Watch out for the prop guy

protec1 · 02-19-2007, 10:17 AM

Does anyone out there know Mike from HALLS PROPS down in Christmas Fl, If so be careful. He has 2 herring 5 blade props & 2 hydromotive 4 blades that belong to customers of mine that he has had since sept. 06 & he cashed the check I wrote him for the repair of these props. I am out a few thousand $$ right now. This is a warning to everyone out there. If anyone can help please contact me.

Somebody in the boat biz ripping somebody else off???? Say it ain't so!!!!

Sorry to hear about that. I have heard of the guy. A buddy of mine went in there to buy a prop and he was a real "Richard". He won't go back after the experience he had.

I know the shop, and where it is... about 30 minutes from me. I have heard he does good work. I have never had hom do anything for me though so its not from personal experience that i have heard about him.

I just left a message w/ a friend that knows Mike. I'm sure he'll get the message. I saw Mike this weekend at The Miami Boat Show (in the water w/a 39 Velocity). Call Steve Stepp he can probally help you.

I can see you are a new member so welcome, but why did you post this in the bilge? There are some other sections that might be better for you with more exposure, good luck.

From what I understand I'm not the only one out there this has happened to. I hate to hurt the guys buisness but that was an awful big hit on my part. What would be a better place to post a thread on this subject?

Here's a thread from a couple years ago, it's along the same lines. Mixed opinions.

You are not the first. He has my new prop and I paid him the money to have it labbed,have not seen it since. That has been over 3 years!! He also has 2 props from a friend of mine. I have a judgement against him but nothing to show for it.. STAY AWAY.....
