    I'm sure there are a few guys around that can do repairs but I usually send mine out to Mark Croxton doesn't take long good turn around and his work is beyond good. I have had a few done locally and nobody can make it run like him. Tell him your set up and what you want done or what you expect out of your prop or need more bow lift or whatever and he can deliver...just my opinion

    I've had Mark do 2 of my props. As long as he is in business I will keep sending them his way.

    He's always worked on mine since way back when. Never a complaint and quick turnaround.

    I think locally they know saltwater props, and they are not accustom to fixing props for our style of boats. Light fast vs big and needing power to move weight.

    Yeah, I've used Mark as well over the last 15 or so years. All I'm looking for is some tip cup. Boat has been running pretty flat over the last couple of years. Just wondered if there was someone local.

    Thanks guys

    I used them a few times and was not very satisfied after the last time. Won't go into specifics but fewer and fewer people use them because of issues.

    Just shipped it off to Mark. It's always good to know you are getting what you pay for.

    Which from the sounds of it, could be relatively soon as he's looking to retire
