Throttle-UP
I would like to reflect back over the "2005" seasons and thank Throttle -UP for all their hard work. Matt, and Julie are huge supports of Offshore Racing in many different ways . As a sponsor they don't come much better, they supported us 110% in any way they could. As many of you know there isn't anyone better then Matt when it comes to working a prop . Not only does he work our props but spends endless hours running the boat with us getting to know the boat better then me !!! Each and every time Matt and I have talk at a race site before a race, and Matt has made a prop choice he has been right on the money. They are top self in everything they do, and it shows by all of the National Championships, World Championships, and the all important Kilo's they have WON !!!
Matt built me a prop a few years ago for my F1 Fountain that was just unbelievable, we tried literally 10-15 props at Fountain the week of the race. Matt told me I have built you a secret weapon for u as a joke and oh my God he wasn't kidding !!! We went out and ran a blistering Kilo in "2003" at 87.684 mph to set a new World Record in F1 with an HP 500 that still stands today. Thats not to bad for a guy that is sitting in a shop 800 miles away and just doing it off information I was giving him from my week of testing. Of course then there is Julie our support system !!! There isn't a harder working person at a race site, she runs from morning till nite to make sure each and everyone of her teams are on their "A" game. If you aren't she makes sure some how some way you get what you need. I've seen that women fly **** cross the country for a team at the speed of light. If your not running out front she isn't happy, and believe me you don't want Julie not to be happy (ask Matt) . Their support at the race site is something we sometimes take for grant, so I want to take a moment to personal thank them for be a unbelievable sponsor and great friends !!! |

Re: Throttle-UP
Since the first time we met (Ft. Lauderdale @ Bahia Beach Club) Matt & Julie have been helping, fixing, testing, counseling, and just being great friends. They are always there, not only for me, but for everyone who calls on them for help…or maybe just to hear Julie’s sexy “Hello, this is Throttle up…how may I help youuuuu”
They are good people with high moral values. It doesn’t make any difference if you have a race boat, do poker runs, or need a pusher prop for 40-year old outboard on a pontoon boat, every customer is important. Their support of Offshore Racing is more than a business decision…it’s a commitment. Their heart is with their customers, wherever they race, poker run, or just putter around on the water. Throttle up…one of the brightest stars in the heavens, and one we would all do well to follow as an example. Thank you! Ken Doyle |

Re: Throttle-UP
Well said Frank, they are the BEST. I can't put into words how I feel about both Matt & Julie. I hope all of their teams do well in the Worlds, if we don't it will not have anything to do with the props.

Re: Throttle-UP
Warren,
U are right about that, Matt always gives us the best possible prop... the rest is up to us. I'm proud to fly their color on my boat. |
Re: Throttle-UP
When I became a boat owner, Julie was one of the first persons I talked to. Not only did she tell me what they could do for our props, but she also told me they we're there to help out in anyway they could...and I have seen it time and time again.
I do not know anyone that loves or supports this sport more than Matt and Julie. Thanks Throttle Up! Sean |

Re: Throttle-UP

Re: Throttle-UP
Matt and I, both want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words. We want to thank you for taking the time to get to know us and our company over the past several years. You have given us encouragement and experience, both invaluable. Your trust has meant so much and we have enjoyed spending time with each and everyone of you. The greatest gift of all is the friendships we have formed. We thank you from the bottoms of our hearts and hope to see you all very soon. Safe Racing my Friends.
Regards, Julie & Matt Croce Throttle Up Propellers |

Re: Throttle-UP

Re: Throttle-UP

Re: Throttle-UP
A lot of hard work and dedication with out all the glory...they truly do it because they love it. But more important than all the wonderfull comments above and sponsoring our team, we have gained two wonderful friends that I have grown to love and respect over the years. If you don't know them you need to make the time to get to. Oh yeah and the fruit stand is always open.
