Is Throttle up still open?
 

I have been trying to call them for 3 days.
No answer and no voice mail.....?
Whats up?

I live pretty close to there, will try to pay attention next time I drive by.

That would be cool of you!

I spoke with Julie at Throttle-Up last week. I am a TU customer, and here is what I posted in another thread, in reference to them being closed.

As a very satisfied customer, and after speaking with them, I do not believe the above, to be an accurate statement.

They have made huge investments in machining and heat treating equipment, in recent years, and worked hard to build a reputation in the industry, as the best of the best. It is my opinion that Throttle-Up (like many other companies) may need to take some time to adjust to various market and economic conditions.

Personally, I fully expect them to continue to lead the industry in propeller design, manufacturing, and customer service.


To: Matt, Julie and the entire team at TU, best wishes for the future, keep doing what you are doing, and thank you for what you have already done.

If you call the business Number, there recording says they are closed for the season and look forward to starting the new season in 2010.


I wish them the best and an early return.

Hope they survive. I'm going to eventually need a prop from them . . .

Ditto on that BIG Daddy :drink::drink:
good luck Jules & Matt

I have tried to talk to someone there for the last couple weeks with no luck. I also left 2 messages with BBlades and haven't got a call back.

I found it kinda weird that they no longer supported or would work on props except their own in house props.
Considering 95% of performance boaters run production
props like Mercury it seems a bad move in this economic market.
I guess they know what they are doing though ..

Can't say about TU, but as far as Bblades, Brett will call you back. He seems to be swamped all the time. But when does, he will give you plenty of time. Great guy. He's done a few sets for me.

she got too involved with OSS , had it not been for that,... they do great work, we all know that .
you chose who to survive or go down with .
oss ? bad choice for them to stick with .
Oh well .

Brett just did a prop for me, got it via UPS about a week ago, you would think that there business would be good over the off months...

Buddy just had some work done by BBlades, Brett's been out of the shop for the last 2 weeks,
as for Throttle-up i wish them the best, nobody in the bussiness better.

Brett did 2 labbed Maximus 5 blades for me last month. From shipping to receiving back, it was less than a month. They work great. TU is a great company and I hope all works out well.

Is is possible they are on the road? Like LOTO?

just talked to bblades last week but I know they are pretty busy.

I would rather wait until next year to buy it from them, then to buy props from someone else. Matt and Julie, you guys rock!!!!

Talked to Brent @ BBlades monday at length and no probs getting him on the Tele:drink:

Shame they did good by me

Lets just hope they are vacationing or out of town for a short bit. They are great prop people and individuals to boot, hope evertyhing is okay with them, the indiustry needs these type of vendors!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Same here - maybe they were preparing for the races.
