Talking Re: Prop AND COLD THAT DAY

Originally posted by JimV
With the race comming up next week in Alabama I was a little apprehensive about sending our best prop out. After talking to Darin he assured me it would be shipped back the same day he recieved it so I sent the prop out next day. Darin called when he got it to get details on what the prop was doing (excessive slip in the mid range). We got the prop and tested this morning, the results are more than impressive. We picked up an honest two mph and the prop accelerates like never before. You can't get much better than that for service. Also the slip went down at wot. Thanks Darin!!!!

P.S. you forgot to send stickers

IT WAS COLD IN HOUSTON THAT DAY, AND PER OUR PHONE CONVERSATION, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE SWEAT POURING OFF MY HEAD THAT DAY,I WAS HOPINGING I didnt hang myself on this one.

Post IMONGO

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WORTH THE SHIPPING ,IMONGO SOUNDS EXPESIVE BOTH WAY'S .

I CAN GET THEM COATED WHITE ONLY

WHAT HE WILL CHARGE HE NEVER DID TELL ME BUT,I WILL TAKE CARE OF IT JUST BECAUSE . SO IF YOU WANT SEND THEM ON.

I wpersonally would not worry about it,the more I think about it ,I don't think white would look to hot ,very long ,they would get dirty looking real quick.

but this is the only color they use .sorry I could not be of more help ,if you want call me,Darin

Hi Darin,

Thanks again. The more I think about it, white isn't going to work. Can't think of anything else?

Darin and Kim, I got my props back today. The look great! I could shave with that edge. I could use one as a mirror and shave with the other. haha.

Thanks
Mark

Houston Prop,
Do you have any knowledge of OMC Vipers, do they behave the same as a Mirage, or Bravos. Just thinking.

Thumbs up omc viper props

yes they are a great performing prop ,they have a high rake angle and are polished very nice from the factory.

omc has always built a excellent prop even the old tefylon coated sst prop.

performance ,just depends on the SET-UP OF THE BOAT,ECT. WHAT DO YOU HAVE.?/DARIN
