Mitch,
Just
wanted to say THANKS! for the great job you and
your guys did with our new Austral props. We sea
trailed this weekend and they performed exactly
as you predicted!. We were amazed at the smooth
acceleration. We haven't experienced anything like
it with either of our other sets of props. My wife's
first words before we were fully on plane were "wow!
no vibration!". The props provided an additional
2 mph at 3200 cruising rpm. Our WOT rpm was also
acceptable at 4200. The 4 blades even performed
as advertised the dock, with additional bite for
close maneuvering. We are sure glad we followed
your advice on selecting the configuration on these
props. Based on what we've seen so far, we fully
expect to see a fuel mileage improvement with this
setup. We'll forward our fuel numbers as soon as
we can.
In
the end , it has been very impressive how well
the Prop Scan technology performs. As a mechanical
engineer, I have been sold on the Philosophy form
the beginning. The process of collecting the data,
repeatability and having a referenced document
is just incredible . To experience these results
is more incredible. As you know i have not hesitated
to spread the word to my friends about Prop Scan
and Holland Propeller, and that is because of your
great service, technology and honest, low pressure
approach to your business.
Thanks again!
