"I'm in the boat repair business and pride myself with the ability to set a boat up correctly. However, there comes a point where the boat needs more help to perform correctly than just the boat being set up and dialed in. Generally the only way to get that little extra edge is to have your propeller modified.
After re powering my Champion 203 with a Mercury 225 Pro XS, it was still not performing exactly as it should. I tried eight or ten different props and finally found which factory prop ran the best overall.
I then sent the prop to Steve at Steve's Custom Props. He immediately found that the one blade was 1/4 of a pitch off from the Factory! He then customized the prop and put his magic touch to it.
All I can say is WOW. I got four to five more miles per hour, the hole shot is the best it has EVER been, and the midrange turning and handling is completely different! The boat had good bow lift before, but now it is incredible!
Having used many different Prop Shops over the years. There was one thing that made Steve's work stand apart. Most customers probably would not even notice this, but when the prop came back, it was polished and didn't have any grinding marks or other blemishes that many of the other shops don't take the time to correct. That impressed me as much as the performance difference!
If you want one of the best in the business to repair your prop, add more cup, or completely customize your prop, Steve is the guy to call!

Just wanted to drop you a line and comment to you that the repair you did on my prop for my Yamaha Pro-V a couple of weeks ago was just what the doctor ordered. Although the boat is a 1986, it has always seemed to run better than most newer boats, and now it performs better than a lot of 2006 models.
As a businessman, I am sure that you know the best advertisement you can get is satisfied customers and word of mouth. as you came highly recommended to me, I will be sure to continue this positive networking for you, and will not hesitate to contact you in the future should I have another unfortunate incident and "ding" up my prop again.
Thanks again for your help.

I have known Steve for almost 7 years now and I have always experienced professional service when I went to see Steve. He would usually get my work back to me in a very timely manner with me being able to wait while he fixed it or to pick up my items later in the day on many occasions. I had Steve install my Dual Bank battery charger and was very pleased with the charger looking like it was installed at the factory. In no way have I ever been displeased with anything that Steve has done on my boat.
I highly recommend Steve to any of my friends or anyone that visits my web site.

Steve,
The prop was on my desk when I got in this AM. All I can say is WOW. I will assure I have never gotten this quality of work on a prop repair and I have had a few done here in DFW. You probably know where.
Your check is in the mail.
I am excited to see what difference it makes.
I already made a big difference by raising the motor as you suggested. I am surprised though that raising the motor nearly 4 inches to get to 3 did not cost me any hole shot at all. In fact my hole shot may even be a little better now.
I will spread the word around my bass club about you and your business. I can't see any reason for me to ever go anywhere else.
