Once again you have worked magic on the props for “BLITZ”,
the Perdue 35 Express. The props have never been better. Your work
gave the 35 a comfortable 27kt cruise at 2250 turns burning less than
20 gallons an hour. It was already great, but now it’s off the
charts outstanding. We are also right on the money for the WOT with
the Cummins QSB’s. The Owner, who has the 35 for sale right
now (building a larger boat with Joe Perdue), is absolutely thrilled
by the performance and fuel economy of the boat and thinks that it
will contribute greatly to selling the boat in today’s economy
and fuel prices. Your knowledge and service are unmatched. We look
forward to working with you again soon.

I just wanted to thank you and your men for the outstanding job you
did on the props on my 3685 Avanti. The boat always seemed smooth,
but there is a marked difference in it at both low and high speeds.
It also has picked up approx. 2 knots on the top end. I think the
re-pitch and also the cup that you added has made a big difference
in overall performance. I will recommend your services to anyone at
our marina that is in need of prop overhaul.

Thank you for your help with the selection and purchase of our new
Veem wheels for my 61' Shearline. They are everything I had hoped
for, as we saw an additional three knots at top end and a significant
reduction in vibration. We're also pushing a cleaner wake and burning
less fuel! Most of all, I appreciate your accommodating professionalism
during the process. Wildcat Propellers came highly recommended to
me and you still managed to exceed my expectations. On behalf of the
Piracy crew, thank you for a job well done.
Sincerley,

Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the
tour of your shop the other day. Needless to say, I was impressed
with all of the hardware and 'software' that it takes to do your job.
It is truly a marriage of technology and brute force. I enjoyed talking
with you in the back shop and I appreciate the extra time you always
take to make sure that even thickheaded guys like me understand the
physics of what we need to do to achieve a certain level of performance
in regard to our propulsion. I walked out feeling like I should've
been carrying a diploma...Seriously though, your service is second
to none and I know that the guys you serve in the fleet down here
really appreciate the extra effort you give to keep us all rigged
up. I am itching to run these new ZFs and I'll let you know how they
feel and perform as soon as I get this steering cooler back on. If
they're half as smooth as the old pair you tuned up for me, I'll be
expecting plenty of flatline bites...Take care and I'll see you this
weekend at John's.
Sincerely,
Jeff James

I spoke with you yesterday (Fri.) re. an explaination
of your report. --Job # 737205F. I sea trailed yesterday and I'm very
pleased with results. Yanmar says that the RPM should turn between
3350 and 3450 at WOT. I was able to get it to 3400. at that RPM ,
in a mild chop against the wind, full fuel and water, with only 5%
trim, I reached 18.5 on the GPS. That compares with about 17.2 on
fairly flat water last fall. While I was not looking for added speed
as much as attaining a proper RPM at open throttle You were correct
that I should see more speed.

Thanks again for your fantastic service and superior,
quality work on the wheels for the 54' 2006 Hatteras SF with the c32
cats. Here are the amazing facts: The bubbles behind the boat were
drastically reduced; In slow vessel mode, one engine in neutral; no
longer a no wake violation; At 30 knots, we went from 125 gal/hr (combined)
to 105 gal/hr (combined). That's a savings for us of 80 gal each fishing
trip from VB. We also increased our wide open under load, RPM's from
2245 to the manufacturer's spec's at 2350. This allows us to cruise
at 36-37 knots at 80% load (previous cruise at 80% load was 33/34
knots).

Wildcat provides outstanding service: quick turnaround,
precise workmanship, and expert recommendations. Zimmerman Marine
relies heavily on Wildcat for new propellers, and for repair work
on older props.

A quick note to thank you for your excellent work over
the last 5 years (those being years Wildcat worked on Backlash wheels),
we have placed in the top three (first, second, third) for six tournaments.
The smaller three blade wheels allow us to go slow for winter rockfish
trips. And we like the economy of 20 knots/20 gallon/hr (combined).
But I really get excited with the 24x27 ZF 4 blades. Your recommendations
were right on: 30 knot cruise, 35 knot top end, zero cavitation, super
smooth and (best of all) fuel economy!!! Right after we put the 4
blades on in Hatteras, we won the 2007 Hatteras Village Open with
a 613# Blue Marlin and another release.
If someone thinks you are too high - don't forget -you are saving
them money on fuel. And that fuel expense is not likely to change!!!
Thanks again, Troy and Team,
Capt Steve Richardson owner/operator "Backlash" |

We want to again thank you for your extremely knowledgeable
and professional response and work on our Viking 45 propellers.
As you know, Pam owned a propeller shop with her Father several years
ago and is very knowledgeable. After talking to you, it became apparent
we should send the propellers to you for rework and to put your modification
on to minimize cavitation. After receiving the propellers back in
a short period of time they were installed. We immediately found reduced
vibration and were pleasantly surprised at an increase in performance
of 2 mph at cruise. Thanks again for your quick and professional response.
We would not hesitate to recommend your shop to anyone looking for
quick and quality work.
