I have had 2 props done by Houston Prop. I've been very happy with our dealings. This is the first negative I've heard about them.
I do know that he was giving a big discount on the first set of 5 blade props, not on all the first orders.
Is it possible that is where the confusion has come from?

Keep in mind last week was the Miami boat show. I wouldn't jump so quick to clobber the guy. Then again if it was my money I would be a little pissed too.
There could of bee some confusion or misunderstanding in regards to the price. That was a pretty big increase. Let us know how it all turns out.

I personally have met Darin and he is not the kind of guy who would screw you around. I'm sure somewhere in this situation there was a miscommunication. It happens and I'm sure you guys can resolve it. He did excellent work for me and ended up charging me less that we originally agreed.

Yup, that's just about what I thought you would say. The whole story sounded fishy from the first post.
