The drives are hand finished. We have come to love a particular brand of paper and grit that works perfect and keeps the finsih longer. There is a purpose for the way we finish it also.
It also takes time. We spend anywhere from 6-8 hrs (on a #6, each) just finishing them.
We have been doing this for 25+ yrs.
The results are amazing. We do every type of drive. At the moment we have, #8's, #6's old and new, Imco SC and SCX, Sportsmaster outboard and inboard, and blackhawk, all in the shop as we speak.
The season is starting. For those of you that NEED ( want ) more speed, better handling and sexy looking drives. Give me a call 772-285-3562
Our real expertise, however , is in propellers. Just recently we modified a set of standard Hering props, and picked up almost 4 mph.
We work on every types!! Last month we reworked a pair of 36" diameter bronze propellers for an 80' luxury yacht. The boat wouldnt plane full of fuel, and took over 2 minutes when half full.
WCM came to the rescue. The boat planes in 20 seconds full of fuel, and picked up over 3 knots at WOT.
So get your gear to us whatever boat you have!!!

we have been down that path and it failed miserably. Most of the castings from the manufacturer are so bad, and with that I mean, not simmetrical, bent and overall out of shape that it makes it almost impossible to cnc them. Like I said, we have been doing this for 25+ yrs. We have been down every road, we have tested every shape, every tool, every thickness and we continue to test new ways to make it better. We will never, however, cut corners to save time and money and risk not putting out our best work everytime. As you all know, it takes no time to ruin a reputation that has taken years to build.
Happy easter everyone!
