Dear Kathy and Steven,

Sorry I didn’t write to you sooner; I’ve been too enjoying my “speed boat!” Last year, with your KATAPULT wheels, my cruise speed went to 23 1/2 – 24 knots. That’s great for a 65,000-pound [old] Hatteras. When I told you how the boat was running, you had told me to bring the wheels in before I launched this year, for some fine tuning and adjustments. “You really know what you’re doing with these wheels! My maximum RPM is the same, but now I’m cruising at 25 knots, with a 28.2-knot maximum, engines running as cool as ever! That extra speed really changes how the boat feels and handles. Thanks for all your help; it was a pleasure doing business with you both.

Dear Kathy and Steve,

Many times in business, we hear more than our share of complaints, gripes and misunderstandings. Sometimes its nice to hear a compliment or two.

Once again you and your staff have outdone yourselves and gone that extra mile. The propeller you prepared for me to use as a spare was a work of art, and a compliment to all your skills have been able to not only salvage that prop, but actually make it usable and efficient. I will keep it as a spare. But, the best was what you did for me when you reconditioned and modified my primary prop. My top end speed is better by more than 2 knots, but my cruise speed, fuel economy is the best it ever was. The savings in fuel alone, not to mention time saved in getting to the fishing grounds more than justifies the expense. My customers also appreciate the added speed and saving in cruising time, it gives them more time to fish. My engine runs cooler and faster with no unsightly smoke and fumes coming from the exhaust pipe.

I’m so happy and pleased that I want to buy another boat, just so you guys can do the propeller for me. Again, thanks for a great job, by the nicest people in business.

Regards,

Dear Kathy, Steven and Michael,

As you know, I had seep reservation about the ability of S & S to duplicate let alone improve the performance of my 1088 48′ Viking Convertible.

After several of my customers and friends purchased S & S custom props and raved of the increased speed and reduced vibration, I decided to try a set of 4 blade Katapult props on my boat.

I could not be more pleased. This is the smoothest 48 Viking I have ever been on.

Dear Vic,

On behalf of U.S. Racing Team, we would like to thank you for the outstanding propeller work you performed for us. Certainly without this propeller our victory at the Gar Wood Trophy Race in Detroit would have not been possible.

We would like you to accept the plaque which was received for the Detroit record win lap record 123.287 MPH; Heat Record 121.321 MPH; 45 mile race record 118.476 MPH.

All this was due to your rare talent and craftsmanship.
