not bashing, but not happy. ordered my 4 blade props 2 weeks ago and Joe said 2 weeks. talked to Joe today, two weeks later, and he has no clue when my props will be done. i asked if i could expect them by end of august and he said he doubted it. I'm glad i woke up this morning and told myself that i was going to change and start being more laid back and not such a butt hole. i did not get nasty with Joe because i would honestly like to put a set of 4 blades on my boat and it turns out he is just the middle man. i canceled my order for the 4 blade props for now. i told Joe that i would call him this winter and order the props, that way if it takes 4 months, it won't hurt my feelings. i will say this, he did offer me a discount on my props if i decide to place the order again. guess i'll have to wait to see if he is true to his word.


sorry @bellvillemxz, won't have an update for you.  either way i will report my findings because i still plan on putting them on the boat.

could have been due to volvo penta F-3 not being a very common prop. he did not say.

yes sir! it's going rather well and honestly, it's just me and the admiral most of the time. we might have friends on our boat a couple of times a year. most of our neighbors and close friends have their own boats. i will still purchase the 4 blades because if i can be more efficient and allow the motor to not work as hard, that's what i really wanted.
