Everyone, just wanted you to know I had my prop serviced at Steve’s prop shop near lake fork. I stopped by to visit and spoke to Steve down town at his motor shop. He advised me to take my prop to Josh at his prop shop. What a pleasure to meet them both . Highly recommend this business. They both displayed excellent customer service and have a wealth of knowledge

Just had my prop redone after taking it out at Calcasieu. Baumann in Houston did it. Looks like a new one. They are just around the corner from my office so super convenient. $200.

Saw both of them yesterday. Had Steve do my 20 hr service on the Mercury. Then took my prop by the prop shop just west of the 154 bridge. Josh is working on it and had a super quick turnaround. I'll go pick it up monday and see how it runs. He's tuning it to run better on my Skeeter 21i. trying to bust 80mph with my 300R

Have known Steve for years he’s a great guy and friend. Always worked on my boats and props. Josh, I don’t know….. Went with friend to have prop done at his new shop, and was rude as hell to my friend, like I said, I sure didn’t expect this from him, if he acts this way with a lot of people, he will be losing a lot of business. Don’t know if Josh had a bad day or what, but customer shouldn’t be treated that way, I know if Steve had seen the way he acted, he would have said. Thing or two to Josh.

Just had my Yamaha VMax 25 worked and repaired by Josh. Motor has a lot less viberation, hole shot is awesome, but top end is about the same; mid 60's with two people and a tournament load so far, but my rig has the 3 to 4 degree negative wedges so I'm not trimming out all the way. Probably after Christmas I'm going to get rid of those wedges per Josh's recommendations. Folks usually put those wedges in to get a better hole shot. After Josh got finished with my prop I don't think I need them anymore.
