Wow where do I start with how happy we are with Troy and his guys work at Wildcat. We have a 1979 60 Hatteras EB with 12V92 Detroit Diesels. The boat would cruise 19 knots while burning 80gph before we brought our props to Wildcat. I brought the props to Wildcat and Troy put the props on his Prop Scan unit. He spent the next hour explaining what the data was showing him and explained in detail what needed to be do to fix the props. His impressive knowledge of propellers made me confident I had made the right choice. When I returned to get the props Troy again went over the props and explained what work was done. By now I was eager to see how the boat would perform. Immediately I could feel the difference as the boat came up on plan nice and smooth all vibrations where gone. To my delight we gained 3 knots and cut fuel burn to 70 gph. When we started trolling the white water and turbulence were drastically reduced. The work Wildcat performed has been the best money we have ever spent on the boat.

Thanks Again

Sorry I took so long with this but the real world interfered with things. Below you will find some pictures of the new wheel after it was installed on Knock Na Shee. With the old wheel I got 6.6 knots at 6 gallons per hour. The new one gives me 8+ at 4.7 gallons per hour. Not too bad! My friend, who has a sister of the Knock, figures I may be able to improve the consumption with a little adjusting of the trim. Maybe so; but I'm not complaining about things as they stand.

Thanks for your help,

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 would like to thank you for the excellent service you have provided in the purchase and service of the props fro the Canyon Express. You always came through with fast and reliable service of the props on the old Canyon Express as well as providing and fine-tuning the props for the current Bayliss Boatworks Canyon Express.
We now have re-powered and as always you have accommodated our every need. Your expertise is second to none. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you for many years.

  Received the ACME Prop late yesterday afternoon. The fit is perfect and the performance difference is unbelievable! Very happy with it and the service you and the Wildcat Staff provided us.

Thank You,

  I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know the results of my new ZF wheel. As you know this is my 3rd boat I have replaced with ZF wheels. The past boats I have gained between 1 and 1.5 knots. The last change over was aboard the newest "waterman" a 57 foot custom carolina sportfish with a single 2100 RPM , 1000 h.p 3412 cat. My previous wheel ( High Torque 31x32) was replaced with a 32x32 ZF. they both reach approximately 2140RPM's. My old cruise speed at 1750 RPM's was 22.5 knots. The new speed is 25 knots at 1750. The top end went from 27.5 knots to over 30 knots. I had two spare wheels that I had reworked by another company to class 1 and tried them both with nearly the same results. In addition to the increased speed, I also have a remarkably smoother boat and I am burning less fuel. Thanks again Wildcat!!

Sincerely,
Mike Standing
