mark, the one thing i see that upsets me the most is when a boater (or any hobby, for that matter) orders something custom, gets it & it doesn't perform well for them, instead of contacting the supplier, they ASSUME that either the supplier doesn't know what they're doing, or the part is junk. then they order the same type of part from someone else, with any possibility of results. CUSTOM is the key word here. mark, or any other custom parts supplier can only work with the info you supply them. with all the myriad of variables in setup, tuning, fuel, water conditions no one can get you exactly what you need first time, every time. mark, you worked a x-442 for me 3 times before we got it right. when you did, it made my boat haul the mail!! feedback is the key. you have to be able to tell folks what you have, what you want out of it, & be willing to work back & forth towards that goal. it's really more like a partenership than a buyer/seller deal, imho. kentley porter can make a boat run as fast as anyone i know, heck faster than 99% of them...... a lot of that is kentley's knowledge & the time he spends at the pond - BUT, the one thing i hear most is he gives excellent feedback! he will send things back for more tweaking & tell the supplier what it's doing or not doing. then go test, still not just right, back it goes, more conversations, more testing. there is no one size fits all, & if you believe that you got sent junk, maybe you didn't trust the supplier in the first place. i have found that most of the folks that make custom speed parts don't want to do cookie cutter work. they enjoy the challenge of making your stuff run great. give them the info & oppotunity to do so for you. mark, you just keep up the good work & excellent service, & those of us that trust you will keep you busy B) . btw, i'm gonna need a prop for a jae .21 with a cmb greenhead LS soon.
Keep up the good work Mark ! I need (2 )- X -467 V cuts for X Mono and a good /45 Mono - prop for a Seaducer SD -3 as well . I'll give you a holler ,
